Dmitri Young Legging Out a Triple Is a Sight to See

At the start of the video clip below, courtesy of the D.C. Sports Bog, you'll see Dmitri Young of the Nationals booting a play at first base. Keep watching, though, because he more than makes up for it in the at-bat that follows.

Watching him jiggle about while running is almost hypnotic. I can't believe he had the strength left to do his little hand dance at the end. And it's all for naught! Obviously another vote for instant replay on home runs but the best part is that, replay or no, we wouldn't be robbed of watching the Meat Hook willing himself to third base.

Had it been a triple, it would have been the 30th of Young's big league career. That would make him 73rd among active players, most of whom aren't forced to lug quite so much baggage around the bases with them. Nor are they quite as much fun to watch when they chug their way around the bases.
