Pic of the Week

Didi Gregoius tries -- and fails -- to complete a double
play over Atlanta's Ender Inciarte on Wednesday.

I sometimes wonder what the large cadre of foreign players make of the obsentacious displays of patirotism major league baseball is given to.

Inciarte is from Venezuela. Gregoirus was born in Amsterdam and raised in Curaco; he is officially a knight in the Dutch order of Orange-Nassau.  Yet here both are, playing baseball in the United States while wearing gaudy stars-and-stripes accented duds.
