Watch Nick Punto dive into first base for absolutely no reason

Without any further ado, the 2013 Unnecessary Hustle Award goes to ... Los Angeles' own Nick Punto, for his performance in Arizona on Monday. Congrats, Nick!

In the game's very first-at bat, the Dodgers shortstop hit a solid single to center. Unaware that his ball had streaked straight through the infield, Punto ran like a bat (pun totally intended) out of hell, sliding headfirst into first. Necessary? No. Awesome? Yes.

Way to set the tone for the evening. High five!
