Testing...1..2..3..

A while ago I wrote this on the Rockin' the Red Facebook page, and, given the nature of Rick's home run revival, I thought it'd be appropriate to use as a test post trying out my new "read more" feature.

Rick Ankiel, the former pitcher, has been promoted to the big club after jacking 32 homers in Memphis as the center fielder. In his first game back, he belted a 3-run home run over the right field wall. As he trodded around the bases, he was greeted by Hank Aaron at first base and embraced him with a hug. He then was met by an onslaught of bystanders at home plate asking him to kiss their babies and then proceeded to do an in-game interview on the on-deck circle as Albert Pujols was batting. Rick gave credit to Chuck Norris, who "taught (him) everything (he) know(s)." Bear Grylls was spotted later on, having trekked across the entire Canadian frontier with just the clothes on his back to congratulate Rick. "It's amazing what you can do following the moss on a tree and using parachute string," Bear said, referring to Ankiel's miraculous comeback.

You may now return to your normally scheduled programming. Go Spain!
