Great article.

Interestingly, there was a somewhat comparable occurrence in a Cubs game I was watching yesterday. There was a runner on first (Almora Jr, IIRC), and the batter hit a long single. The runner went to third and kept going, blowing through the coach's stop sign to score.

The announcer referenced Enos Slaughter's "Mad Dash" (which I had to look up on Wikipedia), but not Roberto Clemente. The only comments about running through the sign were approving ones -- plus amused surprise that it wasn't Javier Baez doing it this time.
