Once dubbed the Phillies’ “third baseman of the future”, the former fourth round pick from the University of Nebraska has done very little to solidify a starting spot, eventually being displaced by the younger and more powerful Maikel Franco.

This video has been out since last year and it boggles me how it hasn’t spread around quicker. It is so bizarre yet so brilliant. In 2015, during a match between Barcelona SC and Atletico Nacional, Maximo Banguera, goalkeeper for Barcelona SC, committed a foul against an opposing player. Banguera was set to receive a […]
