Oscar Hernandez and Brandon Drury made one young D-backs fan's afternoon a particularly memorable one before today's game at Salt River Fields.
I just thought this would be cool to share with the community. I went to SRF yesterday with the intention on getting the Goldschmidt bobblehead signed. While there I found a practice ball lying quietly in the grass which I naturally picked up to occupy myself. When I was walking to the practice fields, I saw a HOF'er much taller than myself out of the corner of my eye. Obviously , I figured the only thing better than a practice ball I found the ground was if that was signed too. I can't wait for the season to begin :)
Very nice penmanship to be sure, but PollAck? THomas? Ouch. On the plus side, he gets credit for remembering the acute over the a in Yasmany's last name!
Diamondbacks' minor-leaguer Ryan Burr got a nasty surprise yesterday, when his truck was on the receiving end of a fly-ball. He posted this pic to his Instagram, and the culprit 'fessed up in a reply there. It was Oscar Hernandez, who said, "Sorry papi, it was an accident!" Hopefully, a sign of more power in 2017 from Hernandez...
David Peralta seems to have stepped up his T-shirt game... [via /r/azdiamondbacks]
Interesting article about how some hitters have been helped to increase their fly ball profile. Would be great for Tomas especially.
Seems like he brought along his own personal cheering section!
To mark the upcoming SuperBowl, A.J. posted his winter 2003 report card on Instagram. As he says, "Dad always knew how to motivate me. The Red sharpie thru the Pats tickets was a dagger!" Guess we know who he'll be supporting this weekend...
