Keep it Up, Kepp

If you're not bummed out about what happened to Jeff Keppinger Tuesday you're either....

A) An opposing pitcher who's had to face him

or

B) Cold, insensitive and not capable of genuine human emotion.

How can you not love the guy? His entire professional career "baseball people" have knocked him. Too small... too slow... not good defensively... etc. etc.

It's been an uphill battle for Keppinger to get to the big leagues despite hitting at every level he's ever played.
Even in Cincinnati the Reds were forced to give Keppinger a chance last year and this year because Alex Gonzalez can't go.
All he's done is play a very solid shortstop (1 error) and lead the team in every major offensive category.

Now he's hurt.
Here's hoping he's back in about a month and picks up where he left off.
Great player. Great story. Plus... he wears his pants the right way. Rockin' the "High socks" is old school.
