The 11-second single

By Tangotiger

From contact to the time the ball was thrown back in the infield, it was 10 seconds. Figure another second from relay back to the 2B bag, and you have 11 seconds. Justin Upton, the batter, got to first base. It could have been a legitimate triple (which you can do in around 11 seconds). What a disgrace for such a young player.
