Buehrle, who hurled a perfect game last summer, added a Golden Glove award to his honors last year.
But he may have clinched a 2010 Golden Glove this afternoon.
UPDATE April 6: The video has been pulled because of a copywright issue with MLB. Hopefully an approved version will appear online.
Watch as a ball hit to the lefty bounces off of his foot, then rolls into foul territory. Buehrle then chases after the ball, flips it with his glove and through his legs from behind to first baseman Paul Konerko--while avoiding getting run over by the batter for the out.
Meanwhile, President Obama threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Washington Nationals home opener--in a rather rude way. He wore a Nats jacket, but a White Sox cap. When the Chosen One threw out the first pitch at last year's All Star Game in St. Louis, he upset Cardinal fans by wearing a Sox jacket--but no Cards' cap. Where are your manners, Obama? If any reader can find another instance of a sitting president wearing another team's cap at an Opening Day, please educate me.
Do you remember when President Bush through out the first pitch in the 2001 World Series at Yankee Stadium? He wore an Fire Department of New York jacket--with no Texas Rangers cap. A real class act. Bush is a former owner of the Rangers.
Obama, who unlike myself almost certainly didn't grow up a White Sox fan, just has to be different.
The South Siders have four solid starters and should win the American League Central. The Minnesota Twins were the favorites until closer Joe Nathan suffered a season ending injury.
