Who Will Win author quoted in NY Observer

The New York Observer had a fun article on home run trots, tracked by Tater Trot Tracker.  If you're interested in how long it takes for your favorite batters to round the bases on a home run, check it out.

Some tidbits:

  • David Ortiz & Todd Helton are slow on their home run trots (around 30 seconds).
  • Adam Rosales, Carlos Gomez, Yasiel Puiz and Angel Pagan are fast (around 17-19 seconds).
Granat was quoted in the article, saying that personality traits and how athletes play the game can be mirrored in their home run trots.
