VIDEO: Phillies' Maikel Franco Makes Spectacular Jump Throw to Nail Christian Vazquez
By Jerry Trotta
With the NL Wild Card race getting tighter with what seems like each passing day, the Philadelphia Phillies have no margin for error in the closing weeks of the regular season. Well, that message is apparently engraved into the mind of third baseman Maikel Franco who made a remarkable stop and throw to gun out Christian Vazquez.
Folks, Franco's momentum not only took him to the edge of the diamond, but also some five feet into foul territory. To generate that kind of arm strength in THAT position is nothing short of spectacular.
