Considering the sheer number of things that happen in a baseball game, there are plenty of opportunities for absurdities to occur -- players hitting balls that bounce in the dirt, fielders making multiple errors on the same play, Bartolo Colon launching home runs, and so on. The one that gets everyone excited, though, is when position players pitch.
What a good time! It's generally a farce, occasionally a revelation, and livens up even the dullest rout. Will Willians Astudillo throw an eephus pitch? Can Albert Pujols strike someone out? How many runs will Brett Phillips give up?
