Javy Baez Stole Home With Another Dope Slide

Nobody makes the little things in baseball more exciting than Cubs infielder Javy Baez, and he did it again today against the Tigers. A steal of home is, of course, alright pretty thrilling. But watch the subtle yet significant way Baez contorts his body for the swim-move slide to avoid a seemingly easy tag from catcher James McCann, and tell me that doesn’t tickle your pleasure centers.

One man can’t be that smooth. He just can’t.
