If He Could Only Hit

Posted by rich on March 28, 2008

Royals outfielder Joey Gathright has never started a full season in the Majors.  His inconsistencies at the plate have raised questions about his offensive abilities.  What shouldn’t be questioned is his athleticism.  While most of us are out hanging with friends playing poker or watching a movie, Gathright is in parking lots jumping cars.  Yes, you read that right.  This is freakish….

Of course you have to wonder whether or not this would ever come in handy in a baseball game.  Well, as we found out in a spring training game, Gathright has no problem jumping over a human being either.

Props to one of our readers, Asita, for finding these gems.  While I continue to fail at jumping even the smallest of cement posts outside of the local Target, Gathright is probably jumping my 1994 4Runner.
