Everyfuckingbody finally familiar with the smallness of David Eckstein, and the way he hustles down the line like almost every other major league baseball player? No?
Here are the Cliffs' Notes:
pocket shortstop
rosary beads
ignited
little player who does big things
neither was a flashy play
workmanlike things that help teams win
core player
"He's the toughest guy I've ever seen in a uniform" (proving to be the most irresistable quote of 2006 for sportswriters)
5 feet 7 inches
baby faced
looks like he wandered into the lineup from an American Legion tournament
scrappers
feisty
broke his bat
two-out roller
"our club responds to how hard he plays"
walk-on at the University of Florida
puttering along
Granderson slipped
