Ford Goes Long: A Reenactment

In the 4th inning, with the score Tigers 2, Twins 0, and the Johanninator pitching somewhat sketchily, we were in sore need of runs, but they seemed in short supply off lefty Mike Maroth. Good thing we have Lew Ford on our team, who kindly hit a three run homer to give the Twins the lead, a lead which they never relinquished.

Now, since the Twins aren’t on TV, nobody saw the homerun, including Batgirl. Nonethless, as another service to beloved readers, Batgirl generously presents a reenactment. Any variances between this reenactment and what actually occurred on the field are not Batgirl’s responsibility.

So, there are no outs in the 4th. Doug Mientkiewicz has singled to lead off the inning, and Jose Offerman walked. So Doug (the white spaceman with the red helmet) is on second and Jose (the yellow spaceman) is on first.

Then, Ford steps into the batter's box.
