J.J. Hardy must see Angel outfielders in his nightmares. A season after Mike Trout made one of the most memorable home run robberies in recent memory against Hardy in Camden Yards, Peter Bourjos did everything he could to one up him. Same batter. Same location. Same result.
So, yeah, it turns out that all the hub-bub over Bourjos forcing Trout into left field really isn't that big of a deal after all. Speedy Petey's catch may not have been quite on par with Trout's magnificent grab, but it is still a thing of beauty that will surely have a life of its own in highlight clip shows for weeks and months to come. As for J.J. Hardy, well, maybe he should just try pulling the ball to right field.
