Cuban jugador Alfredo Despaigne, whose exploits and spirit have been celebrated previously in these pages, appears to have recorded both the 14th and 15th home runs of his season in Cuba’s Serie Nacional today.

The footage above depicts the former of those home runs and also depicts Despaigne’s not technically slow-motion, but still 41-second tour of the bases. Were he (i.e. Despaigne) a late-19th century Frenchman, it would be appropriate to describe him as a flaneur. That he is of neither that time nor that place, it follows that no word exists to characterize his brand of wild insouciance.

In conclusion:

Credit to American folk hero Ben Badler for bringing video to author’s attention.
