Everybody remembers the sluggers, but Pierre was the master of putting pressure on the game and pushing runs.

Juan, love you, but you didnt shuffle on the one or two looker?

I know this sounds silly but wouldn't soccer player Messi be super awesome at stealing bases

Isn't the "shuffle-shuffle" a delayed steal tactic? I didn't see you use shuffle-shuffle on either the "one look" or "two look" steals and you're waaaay past shuffle-shuffle to be talking about taking your lead off second.
