This is one of the most amazing things I’ve seen this morning. Check out Cuban slugger Alfredo Despaigne in these two clips. Despaigne homered twice on Tuesday for Alazanes de Granma, and he didn’t exactly rush his trots around the bases.
Alfredo Despaigne went deep twice today in Cuba. Leisurely home run trots of 41 and 42 seconds. He is the best: https://t.co/L6zM2cPYhn

He’s not even at first base before the ball lands on each homer!
Can I even call that “trotting”? It’s more like “speed walking”.
Actually…I don’t even think that’s accurate, looking back at the speed walking event from the 2008 Olympics.
