Moustakas Dives Into Our Hearts


You may respectfully or disrespectfully disagree with the occasional sports mention on LemonWade. That’s fine. You’re wrong. For not only are sports the central piece in the world’s relentless need to be diverted (Russell Crowe‘s “are you not entertained?” in “Gladiator” is the greatest expression of this compulsion), but sports, these days, is providing the U.S. with its only good-news escape (aside from the gay-marriage victories) from all the Ebola gloom and ISIS doom. With that understood, I share with you the video above of Mike Moustakas‘s thrilling catch in last night’s American League playoff game. “Moose,” as the fans call him, is the third baseman for the Kansas City Royals, who are making an improbable run through the post-season. Know hope!
