bang-bang play (noun): in baseball, 1. An attempted tag or force play at a base when the ball and runner arrive simultaneously. 2. Any defensive play accomplished with precision and speed.
We’re putting a twist on the old bang-bang around here. Our bang-bang plays post every weekend will be fast links to great articles and features found at some of the best sports blogs around the interwebs- a speedy way to bring the best of the best to you. PLUS every Bang-Bang Play post will also feature, behind the jump, a Mail Bag Hottie- pictures of a hottie athlete nominated by our readers. Double the bang, double the fun.

And our first inaugural Mail Bag Hottie is…
Wily Mo Pena. He sniffs and bites his bat. He blows kisses to God. And he really loves him some LICOR!!!
Yes, ma’ams.
Wow. I just back from the gym to cool down, and just like that I am all hot and sweaty again.
I love when ballplayers do that their bats! Carlos Gomez kisses his bat. So cute.
And Wily needs lotion on his hands in the next to last picture. And an extra “L”.
Every time I read his name, I first think that it should be pronounced like “Wiley Coyote.”
Me too! It took me forever to stop calling him Wi-ley.
And a Dominican who loves licor ? Color me shocked.
I always say it in my head like an old gunslinger from the Wild West.
“Wild” Bill Hickok, “Turkey Creek” Jack Johnson, “Wily” Mo Pena……
Mail Bag Hottie-one of the best ideas ever!
I love that idea, Lady A – and I’m going to call him “Gunslinger” from now on.
He’s REALLY beautiful in person. BEAUTIFUL.
Ugh- if you were a Sox fan you wouldn’t love him so much. He strikes out and I can feel the breeze down here in D.C. Seen him in the outfield? Scary.
But he does look kinda cute biting his bat.
I am a Sox fan, and I never said I loved him. I said he was hot. Two totally different things.
When people are relieved to see J.D. start in your place? You’re bad.
The biting is interesting, but the sniffing is truly odd.
No way. Wooden bats smell awesome.
I like the little baseball bullets… lemme know if you need more balls (ladies …)
