WSH@CIN: Ankiel makes an amazing throw to nab Sappelt

  1. Rick was a great pitcher before he lost his confidence. I hope he makes it back with another team. He's one of the good guys in MLB!

  2. maybe for the nationals mnw1989, but Ankiel was an outfield terror for the Cardinals.

  3. If he had the speed of a Billy Hamilton, he would have been the best (defensive) outfielder of all time

  4. "As soon as he picked up that ball, I knew he was out. You're not going to see a better throw." Wonder if he knew whether or not Bixler was going to make the tag of the year. THAT was the real story here. OK throw, spectacular catch and tag.

  5. Rick Ankiel in center. Bo Jackson in left. Vladimir Guerrero in right. Nobody ever takes an extra base without praying first.

  6. Wow. Doesn't matter how many times I see this throw it is still just as awe inspiring as the first time I saw it.

  7. Ankiel’s first game back in the Majors as an outfielder he hits a home run for the Cardinals

  8. I watch him during some of the cardinal’s broadcasts. Have you seen the hands on that guy? Mr. Banana hands!!
