David Eckstein is one of my favorite players ever. I could go on this long tangent about why I like him and how through heart and determination he overcame athletic shortcomings like physical stature and arm strength, but I will not do that. Instead, look at my name. It says "lil_scooter93". My nickname is "scooter". That should be all you need to know.
On this day twelve years ago, August 7, 2005, David Eckstein hit a walk off grand slam. Per tradition, established by yours truly one year ago, we are gonna watch it.
