Three innings into Game 7 of the World Series featured a pretty nice looking double play that required a review (which play-by-play guy Joe Buck complained about for taking a whopping two and a half minutes). It prompts Tim McCarver to explain that that Giants player was "a ball player."
He knew what you were thinking though: "What is a ball player?" Well, McCarver has your answer.
"People will say, 'well, what is a ball player?' ... He runs well, throws well, fields well, hits well, and does it all."
So, in case you were wondering what a "ball player" is, it's someone who, ya know, does all the things required to play the sport. Now, I'm no baseball guy, but I'm pretty sure if you had a guy who runs well, but doesn't field well or hit well, he'd just be, ya know, some guy.
