Maybe it's a leadoff hitter thing. But when Tony Fernandez walks onto the baseball field, or through the door for that matter, something strikes you as not quite the way it should be. His posture is a bit upright, stiff even. The steps are small.
Nothing is amiss.
Like I said, maybe it's a leadoff hitter thing. Fernandez never knocked us over with that whoosh. Oh, he topped 20 steals in seven seasons. Don't let the walk fool you. The man can run.
