Billy Burns of the A's Made Not One, But Two Potential Top 10 Catches Of The Year In The Same Game Yesterday

Love the way he throws himself around with reckless abandon. Reminds me of one dude and one dude only. The Human Crash Test Dummy, Eric Byrnes. Can’t be a coincidence that these two both roamed the spacious Oakland outfield and shared basically the same last name. And I haven’t learned much in my blogging career, but I have learned this.
