Quote of the day: Dick Allen

Longtime Philadelphia Phillie Dick Allen on baserunning:

“Baserunning is an art and a skill. If I’m on second, one ball on the batter, I’m going to try and get a big lead to distract the pitcher. My job is to help get ball two. Now the pitcher’s got to throw a strike. Batter knows that. I know that. He’s in a position to get good wood on the ball. He gets a single, I score. That’s good baserunning.”
