On Monday night, Cubs leadoff hitter Kyle Schwarber dropped down an amazing bunt to beat the shift. Here are a couple different angles.
Amazing. Great bunts are in the top 10 things that make baseball awesome. So, here are my five favorite bunts that I could find on YouTube. Actually, let's make it seven because there are so many good ones.
7. Rajai Davis
"Broken wheel" - 7/26/16
6. Chase Headley
"Pick it up!" - 5/30/15
5. Robinson Cano
"John Lackey is going to kill you" - 9/13/13
4. Ben Davis
"This will piss off Schilling and Brenly forever" - 5/26/01
3. Dae-Sung Koo (via Jose Reyes)
"Dae-Sung Koo is a boss" - 5/21/05
2. Jake Taylor
"Taylor bunts!" - the 1980s
1. Roberto Hernandez
"Walk-off. Bunt. In. The. Playoffs." or "That voice reminds me of Moneyball" - 10/1/03
Honorable mention: Justin Nicolino
Get ready; next week comes the worst bunt attempts ever.

Baseball is here! And more importantly, that means the over/under game is back. It seems as though everyone is an expert this time of year. Somehow we convince ourselves that we are better at predicting baseball outcomes than everyone else. Well, AFITB is putting that to the test for the third year in a row. Think you know more about baseball than us? You probably do. But go ahead and prove it anyway.
