Star-spangled protective gear? Jonathan Lucroy might just be Captain America
Jonathan Lucroy wore Captain America catcher's gear
Sure, David Wright has the nickname and Bryce Harper has the star-spangled bat, but Jonathan Lucroy's Independence Day catcher's gear may have earned him the moniker of Captain America for at least one day:
The Fourth holds a special significance for Lucroy, who was decked out for the holiday. And after the Brewers' 7-3 win over the Reds on Saturday, he's going to auction off his patriotic equipment and donate the proceeds to military-themed charities.
Hmmm … someone who's philanthropic and sporting star-spangled protective gear to shield his body? Yeah, that definitely sounds familiar.
And what did he use his newfound superpowers?
In true Steve Rogers fashion, he had the patience to draw an RBI walk to score Jean Segura in the fifth inning.
Well done, Cap.
