Watch out for that wall Alfonso
This came up several weeks ago but we are just now getting around to it. Alfonso Soriano isn’t afraid of much - but he IS afraid of running into the outfield wall.
“I have no problems running from side to side or running to make a catch in front of me,” he said. “The only problem I have sometimes is running backward because I’m scared of hitting the wall. But I’m working very hard in spring training to get better. … That’s one of the only places that has [bricks] in the back [instead of padding],” Soriano said. “But the work in spring training will help me there and in different ballparks. I just have to work to make myself more comfortable.”
WHAT? Is that why you suck in the outfield? Afraid that wall is gonna jump out at ya? Maybe the Cubs should consider moving him back into 2B or something. Or better yet, lets pad the walls at Wrigley! And while we are at it, let Sam Zell sell some ads on the walls. LOL!
