Cubs Catcher John Baker Pitches, Scores Winning Run
The man can do it all.
The Cubs and Rockies played deep into the night yesterday, forcing the Cubs to send catcher John Baker to the mound in late innings. With the score tied 3-3, Baker worked a quick top of the 16th, and then after walking to lead off the bottom of the frame, scored the winning run on a Starlin Castro sacrifice fly.
Seriously, what's better than a position player pitching appearance?
