John Kruk vs. Randy Johnson.....

July 13, 1993 - Camden Yards, Baltimore, Maryland

With two outs in the top of the 3rd inning, the Phillies John Kruk strolled to the plate to face-off against the American League's Randy Johnson, a hard-throwing lefty with a nasty slider. Johnson's first pitch, a fastball, sailed right over Kruk's head, noticeably spooking the Phillies first baseman. Kruk might as well have been sitting in the dugout for the remainder of the at-bat, as he was stepping out of the batter's box seemingly as Johnson went into his wind-up. Funny stuff.
