The pop heard around the world...

A blazing fastball clocked at 102. A legend at 22 years of age. A Cuban defector with a golden arm. Aroldis Chapman made his first appearance last night as the Reds knocked off the visiting Milwaukee Brewers 8-4.

They, the holders of the radar gun, say he can pop the ball into the catcher's mitt at 105 mph. Boy, the Reds are really sizzling now! Can't wait to get a glimpse of Aroldis. Good thing he's a reliever. He should last longer that Mr. Strasburg. Chapman pitched a scoreless inning last night. Can the major league hitters catch up to the blazin' fastball of the Reds' newcomer?

Probably, in time. I've got an idea. Start your swing when you leave the dugout.
