Sorry for the delay in the post today. Busy day at work and all that…
Home Run of the Day: Felipe Lopez, St. Louis Cardinals (Trot Time: 20.95 seconds) [video]
Go-ahead home run in the eleventh inning of the Sunday Night Baseball game against your hated rivals (even if they do stink this year) for Felipe? Not a bad way to end the night. It should also be noted that both Curtis Granderson and Scott Podsednik(!) had two home runs in Yankee Stadium yesterday afternoon.

Slowest Trot: Jim Thome, Minnesota Twins – 26.48 seconds [video]
It’s so nice to see Jim Thome slugging like he’s still 32-years-old or something up there in Minnesota. And even if it means we have to see him atop the slowest trot of the day leaderboard every now and then, I can handle it. At least it means he’s still getting the job done.
Quickest Trot: Curtis Granderon, New York Yankees #1 – 18.26 seconds [video]
As I said above, both Curtis Granderson and Scott Podsednik had multi-home run games yesterday. Of course, what sets Granderson apart from Podsednik (besides the complete shock on people’s faces when they hear that Podsednik had two dingers) is that Granderson races around the bases every time he goes yard, and yesterday was no different. His two trots were the two fastest trots of the night, with the first clocking in at 18.26 seconds and the second at 18.42 seconds. Chris Denorfia (19.06 secs.) and, huge surprise, Jose Bautista (19.23 secs.) had the next two fastest trots.
