Placido Polanco Makes Bending-Over Look Easy, Just Ask His Manager

Major League records are dropping like Latinos over a border crossing these days, and Placido Polanco decided to reveal his curtsy skills to all of baseball. The veteran second baseman passed the previous record of 144 consecutive games without an error and is now on the top of some statisticians wanking list. But seriously, handling balls well is life or death. Placido’s skills weren’t overlooked by his manager either:

He’s like an old shoe — not the prettiest, but real comfortable.

There’s nothing better to lift the spirits of this Dominican record breaker like being called an old ugly shoe. Now that’s what we call good management.
