We Got The Runs

Jill Hammel is Tough as Nails

We Got The Runs Stops the Train in its Tracks

90s baseball movies: You know them, you love them. Among the less-heralded run of early 90s flicks that defined the childhood of many Underdog players was 'Major League II.' When Cleveland Indian-turned Chicago White Sock(?) Jack Parkman plowed Rube Baker at the plate to score a run, he reminded the young catcher: "next time don't stand on the tracks when the train's coming through."

Jill was Rube Baker on Sunday, and she flipped the script on that plot. After one close play at home which resulted in a collision and a run scored, most players would rightfully clear off the tracks with any potential incoming close plays. Not Jill. She hung in there and took a perfectly executed relay to cut down another Fireballz run at the plate. This was the third collision that Jill has taken in two weeks, and she's showed no signs of being any worse for the wears. Move over Lenny Dykstra, there's a new "Nails" in town!
