Chris Nelson With The Elusive Whirlybird Strikeout

by Brian Floyd

I've seen this in little league, but I'm not so sure I've seen it at the major league level, and if I have it hasn't been often. Seeing the whirlybird to sit-down strikeout is certainly not a normal occurrence, but it's a treat when it does happen. Thank you for this gift, Chris Nelson.
