You may think of Mark Reynolds as simply a baseball player. A man who breaks windshields with his home runs and sprints full speed into outfield walls. But during the Reds' 4-3 win over the Rockies on Tuesday night, Reynolds was something more.
Stretching with all of his might to save a great play by Nolan Arenado, he transformed into the beautiful ballet dancer of your dreams.
Bravo, good sir.
We would demand an encore, but judging by his reaction, it's probably best that he never does that again. In case he does want to take things to the next level, though, Mike Piazza can be of some assistance.
