Dee Gordon casually swiped second base with his batting gloves still in his mouth

Dee Gordon is fast. Like, "home to home in 14.298 seconds" fast. And with speed like that, it's nearly impossible for opposing catchers to throw him out -- he's swiped 193 bases over the last four seasons, and entered play on Sunday with 41 in just 118 games this year.
So it's understandable that Gordon has begun searching for ways to challenge himself on the basepaths. For example, in the first inning of Sunday's game against the Mets, Gordon decided to see if he could steal second base with his batting gloves still in his mouth. The answer? Of course:

For his next trick, Gordon will steal second, third and home while jogging backwards.
