Damn, Billy Hamilton Is Fast

Minor-league speedster Billy Hamilton has stolen 109 bases through 87 games this season, earning himself national accolades from the likes of our own Jeff Passan as well as a spot in last week's All-Star Futures game in Kansas City. Yet even the 20-year-old Reds farmhand must realize that such prodigious numbers can somehow start to glaze our jaded eyes a bit over time. So now the noted Mountain Dew swiller is making headlines with an inside-the-park home run completed in an unbelievable amount of time for the Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos on Sunday.
