Cincinnati Reds’ Brandon Phillips wisely chose not to test Yasiel Puig’s arm on a single to right field. Instead, he decided to hold up at second base and do some hero worship.
Phillips knows you don’t mess with an MVP-caliber player who also charms snakes in his free time.
There’s no telling how dramatic the self-prostration would have been if Yoenis Cespedes had been patrolling right field.
