That was quite an impressive performance by Braves second baseman Elliot Johnson. Johnson thanked the pit crew and his sponsors in the wake of his legging out a triple. The only thing he left out was “the car ran well.” I thought that was a staple of NASCAR interviews.
According to Tim Kurkjian, Johnson is the first player to hit a triple in his first at-bat in inter-league play, in case anyone cares.
