Moises Alou, The Professional Hitter
I was checking my RSS feeds and came across yet another good blog entry at MetsBlog.com, which I read a lot. Basically, Matthew is commenting on Moises Alou and the joy of watching a professional hitter like him. It made me think a lot. Frankly, before Alou became a member of the Mets, I didn’t think much about him other than he was a “pretty good” injury prone player.
Boy, was I wrong. Alou is the epitome of professional hitting. He makes solid contact on almost every at-bat, has tremendous plate coverage, and really understands the “game” of hitting. I’m going to be sad to see him go when he retires, so I’m trying to appreciate as much of his hitting as I can. You’ve won me over Moises, and thank you for your contributions to my favorite team!
