Rick Ankiel, former Cardinal

Although this is primarily an economics blog, there are times that I just can't keep myself from talking about baseball, and living in St. Louis means that I sometimes have something important to blog about.  Last night, former Cardinal hero and current Washington National centerfielder Rick Ankiel demonstrated one reason he was able to convert from a pitcher to an everday player. Watch this strike that he threw.  The runner on third didn't even risk tagging up.
