Re Alvarez, I remember some announcers sneering about 35 years ago, when i was still playing HS, that if you fouled off your back leg, you were no kinda real major hitter. Real hitters only fouled off their front shin or foot...And it discouraged me, because I was a pretty good hitter at that level, but only would foul pitches like that off my back foot....Sparks and Ford mentioned it yesterday, just how surprised they were it was his back knee and not his front. I've never really understood the physics of fouling off one leg or the other as indicative of how good a hitter you were, but I have to admit I'd only ever seen pitchers hit off their back leg in MLB. But shit, if it happens to Yordan it could happen to anybody.
