Our superstars don’t take the game for granted:
Unlike that douchebag right fielder up in LA, our superstars hustle and play humble. Upton’s huge night, which consisted of 2 singles, a diving catch, and a game winning solo HR, is a great example of that. Upton realizes it’s a team game. He is having smart, contact-focused at bats when needed, but also seems to realize when it’s appropriate to swing for the fences.
