Chad Huffman called himself safe after an epic slide, even though the ball clearly beat him

With two outs in the top of the ninth and St. Louis clinging to a 1-0 lead, Huffman broke from second after Patrick Wisdom's line drive headed through the infield and toward Danny Santana.
Huffman, try as he might, was beaten by the throw by a good margin at the plate -- but that didn't keep him from trying his hardest to solicit a safe call anyway:

Never give up -- even if you're caught dead to rights, and even if you're notBrett Phillips. Never lose sight of the goal.
