Sweet Mark Loretta


Yeah that's what I call Mark Loretta, it just rolls off the tongue easily and it's kinda in reference to a lyric in the Beatles' song "Get Back" But Mark Loretta is slowly becoming one of my new favourites. His defense is better than advertised and he's a helluva hitter, despite that cold streak. He's also starting to cement himself as a Yankee Killer, and more and more, as the days go by he reminds me of "The Professional" Bill Mueller(Go figure that Mark Loretta is number 7 in the list of "Similar Batters" for Mueller). This pic is also inspired by the walkoff game on Patriot's Day, and I must link you to this picture of the crowding around home plate,(at least in case you haven't seen it already) hands down one of the most beautiful pictures ever. Also, Mark Loretta's at-bat music is "Low Rider"-War and that alone makes him awesome.
