Kotsay loops one to center field, and Hunter tries to dive and grab it. He misses it, it goes to the wall and Kotsay comes all the way home with an inside-the-parker.

First, I loved when George ran over Bette Middler at home plate in a softball game. The episode had the whole Tanya Harding theme as well.
