CHICAGO -- In the second inning of Game 5 of the World Series between the Indians and Cubs, Chicago first baseman Anthony Rizzo got teammate David Ross' back on a Carlos Santana foul pop ...
Nifty! Teamwork! The ol' C-1B putout! Every out matters, and that's especially the case in an elimination game. Speaking of a first baseman backing up the catcher on a foul pop in a World Series game let's go back to 1980 ...
That's Pete Rose lending a helping hand to Bob Boone and in the process recording the next-to-last out of the 1980 World Series at the expense of Frank White. The ol' C-1B putout!
So who did it better: Charlie Hustle in '80 or Tony Achievement in '16?
