Phillies fans will recall that Rizzotti was Philadelphia's fourth round pick in the 2007 draft. He is a lumbering giant of a player, standing 6'5" and weighing ...

The San Diego Zoo—that would be a good place to leave Ryan Raburn. He would probably fit in better there than on a major league baseball field.
Notice where the ball is in this picture. It is not in his glove. Notice Raburn is off balance. He probably fell down right after this photo was snapped.

As I'm sure you know by now, Robinson Cano hit a rather significant home run, at least within the scheme of one game, on Sunday night. But the more I think about it, the more impressive it seems.
