cage baseball equipment - equipment used in playing baseball were more of disbelief than horror. The same thought went through everyone's mind as Butler stayed down for a good two minutes: No way could this be how it ends. Trainer Charlie Strasser shook his head before sprinting to Butler's side. Manager Bill Russell Noun 1. Bill Russell - United States basketball center (born in 1934) William Felton Russell, Russell looked incredulously from person to person before asking where Butler had been struck. Mondesi took a few more cuts before running down to third base to check on Butler. A palpable sense of relief overcame the group as Butler rose and walked toward the cage. Shaking his head and smiling, Butler said, ``I ought to just quit.'' A few minutes later, Strasser followed Butler off the field and said to a loud round of relieved laughter, ``Let's go Let's Go may refer to: Television
No one wanted to witness the end like that. Butler made an improbable comeback from cancer last year only to break his hand in his fifth game back. He started this, his final season by hitting .356 through 25 games before going on the disabled list May 7 with torn cartilage in his left elbow. He continues to throw before most games, including Sunday, when he increased the distance of his throws to 110 feet, and reports a dull pain. There is no timetable for his return. Big play: As he tossed the ball back to pitcher Ismael Valdes
Valdes had just completed what would prove to be one of the biggest plays of the game by choosing to get Fred McGriff ``It was a smart play,'' Karros said. With Chipper Jones at second base following his one-out double, McGriff lined a rocket back at Valdes, who knocked the ball to the ground. The pitcher looked to third, where he might have gotten Jones, but quickly whirled around and threw to Karros. As he praised Valdes, Karros perhaps thought back to a similar play two weeks ago against the Chicago Cubs. Valdes tried to get the lead runner, failed and cost himself a run. Valdes got out of the inning by striking out Ryan Klesko. But before Klesko stepped in the batter's box, Valdes was visited by Russell and trainer Stan Johnston. McGriff's shot had hit hard against Valdes' palm. He shook it off and got Klesko on a 3-2 changeup.
