One morning last month, Delino DeShields Jr., a Peoria Javelinas teammate, pretended to dribble a baseball like a basketball before another sleepy batting practice. Altherr, who received scholarship offers to play basketball at Division I schools, put his arms up to defend. DeShields tossed the baseball in the sky. Altherr snagged it.

My favorite moment for that broadcast trio was in Game 3 of that series, the Marlon Anderson interference ending

Wheels calling out HEY INTERFERENCE
Harry trying to explain what's going on

Sarge yelling ATTABABY CB

I forgot how comical that was. Iguchi looks a good 5-8 feet off the bag when he's shoved. I know it starts out closer but watching the video at normal speed, it looks insane.

Altherr crumbled the hot dog wrapper into a tight white ball, reminscent of the baseballs he used to hit back in high school in Avondale, Arizona. In an effortless motion, he launched the wadded wrapper into a parabolic arc across the clubhouse. All eyes watched in amazement as the object fell perfectly into a trash can situated in the corner of the room. Much like that throw, Altherr's future success in baseball is no slam dunk.

Now if the 5'9 deshields caught it over the 6'5 altherr, I guess I would have been impressed due to his background as a high school basketball star. But I sure as hope that all minor league outfielders and most little league ones, can duplicate this amazing feat. Maybe the point he is trying to make is that altherr doesn't take practice too seriously and likes to screw around instead.
