Right place, right time

Ramon Hernandez flips his batting helmet away as he prepares to celebrate with teammates waiting at home plate.

You never know where action at a baseball game might occur.  You can anticipate it and prepare yourself and hope for the best.  So, chilly hands in place I watched the Cincinnati Reds mount a rally in the home half of the ninth inning climaxed by Ramon Hernandez's three-run walkoff homer. 

My colleague Jeff Swinger, recovering from knee surgery, had mentioned a previous home plate celebration where former Reds catcher Dan Ross had flipped off his batting helmet as he approached teammates waiting at the plate.  Hernandez, also a catcher, provided the opportunity and I met the challenge.
