Two Highlights from the FanGraphs Staff Wiffle Ball Game

Team FanGraphs defeated Team RotoGraphs, 13-12, on a walkoff single by managing editor Dave Cameron off opposing pitcher Brad Johnson, scoring Craig Edwards in the middle of a field at Prospect Park in Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon. FanGraphs editor Paul Swydan was named the game’s MVP, mostly for an athletic jump over a thrown wiffle ball while advancing to third base.

What follows are two Very Important Highlights, taken from the author’s Snapchat account.

Very Important Highlight #1

FanGraphs CEO and Dark Overlord, David Appelman, showing off his athleticism while also making a catch look far harder than it should have been by bobbling it half a dozen times into foul territory. Also featured: exuberant fist pump by Dave Cameron, annoying exclamation by camera man August Fagerstrom:

Very Important Highlight #2

FanGraphs author and wiffle ball reliever Craig Edwards, flashing plus-plus with a slider to generate a swinging strike against RotoGraphs author Mike Podhorzer:

This has been an important baseball blog post.





August used to cover the Indians for MLB and ohio.com, but now he's here and thinks writing these in the third person is weird. So you can reach me on Twitter @AugustFG_ or e-mail at august.fagerstrom@fangraphs.com.

So much unathleticism…
