Aubrey Huff “runs” the bases, and the dugout’s reaction.
Keep in mind, he hit it off the wall, and this was still the result. Shades of Ruben Rivera.

Aubrey Huff was playing second base because the Giants didn’t have any middle infielders. But Buster Posey played all nine positions in college, and the backup catcher had already come in as a pinch-hitter. Still, Bruce Bochy wanted to keep Posey behind the plate for whatever reason, including the possibility that someone would try to slide into his ankle to take him out on a double play.
What happened? First, this amazing play, followed by a game-ending error by Posey, which happened after someone slid into his ankle to take him out on a double play.
So Aubrey Huff played second base in the ninth inning today. A routine ground ball went to Burriss, and this happened.
Super utility.
Just two guys busting out their slumps tonight. Does this mean that Tejada is also wearing a thong under his jersey? I’d rather not think about that yet.

“The Hall of Fame wanted to keep the thong for Cooperstown. I thought about it and said there’s no way. One day my kids will go to Cooperstown and see their daddy wore women’s underwear. I’m sorry, that’s just not going to happen.”

I believe that if the thong comes to an untimely end, the Veteran’s Committee can wave the waiting period, Clemente-style.
Here’s my take on why the city of San Francisco fell in love with the World Series champs so hard.
San Francisco loved the 2010 Giants because they had something for every part of the city.

College buddies Pat Burrell and Aubrey Huff will be back drinking Bud Lights and wearing thongs for one more season in SF. It won’t be official before Friday, but Pat the Bat isn’t going anywhere. And I’m sure he doesn’t mind that he outlasted Billy Wagner by at least one season.
The Perfect Ending?
Aubrey Huff made a heartfelt speech about spending his career on last- and fourth-place teams. He told the crowd, “Trust me, you deserve this as much as I do.”
Then he stepped away from the podium, reached down the front of his jeans, and dramatically yanked out a red thong. All in front of Willie Mays, who might have just slipped into a coma upon seeing that.

Just chilling with a red thong and a cold Bud Light.
Do I smell an endorsement deal?
The Cable Car I’d Want to Ride In
Aubrey Huff and Pat Burrell, former college roommates, are riding in the same cable car. Huff is waving the famous Rally Thong while Burrell is wearing what appears to be a dress shirt under a t-shirt. Burrell is also pounding Bud Lights and completely ignoring anyone with a microphone.
