Zifnab IMed me yesterday morning to let me know about a scene from the Royals-Dodgers game the previous night in which Joey Gathright leaped over a Dodger in order to make it safely to first base. (I missed the game because it started at 1am my time.) It was quite cool! Gathright is a speedster who has basically no other baseball tools; he's a great athlete, but he's a marginal baseball player. It turns out, though, that he is actually known for his leaping ability: He used to jump over cars.
If somebody has a good 'jumping the shark' joke to contribute, I encourage you to post it here.
