    The late Mike Shannon, who played for the Cardinals in the 60's and was a broadcaster for many years, told a story about when he was in the minors and dogged it going down to first when he popped up on the infield. His manager, Harry Walker-who was a decent MLB player in the 40's-told him "you know, this game can be hard to play. Hitting good pitching is really tough. Running to the gap and the warning track to catch a fly ball is hard,not many people can do it. But hustling isn't hard to do. Anyone can hustle, as long as they want to." Shannon said he never loafed again.

    If the runner is going flat out towards first, it gives the defense less time to recover and make the play which can easily lead to an error. Best case scenario for the runner is an overthrown ball that will allow him additional bases.

    I umpired baseball and softball for 30 years and I saw some egregious examples of lack of hustle. The one that sticks in my mind was in a men's softball game. The first batter of the inning hit a pop-up to the second baseman. The batter assumed it would be caught, so he jogged directly to his bench. However, the second baseman dropped to he ball--but he was able to pick it up and run to first base himself for the easy putout because the batter had long given up on the play. Let's just say his teammates weren't happy.

Also, Bryce Harper hitting a routine fly ball, and not running it out. Supposedly great ballplayers excelling in laziness.

    Lack of hustle is unforgivable in Baseball, more than most any other sport because there isn't constant motion, so there is no excuse of being tired to not give 100% on every play. Most of the time, you are just standing around waiting for something that involves you to do something.

If he saw the outfielder wasn't hustling to get to the ball, he would run hard and turn a single into a double. He had enough speed to make it most of the time.

The Pirates color announcer Jim Rooker described Hendrick's lack of effort during the reply as "he half-ass.... er, he barely tried to stop that ball." My memory is that he began to pronounce the "s" sound in ass, but maybe I'm mis-remembering. He did at the very least pronounce the "a".

    Darryl Strawberry was a Dodger when Tommy LaSorda was the manager. LaSorda said he'd rather have a dog in right field because a dog actually ran after a ball. Cleon Jones played left field for the Mets in the late 1960's and early 1970's. He was their best every day player. In one game Jones jogged after a ball. Immediately the manager Gil Hodges, called time and with his hands in his pockets walked slowly to left field. After a brief discussion, Mr. Hodges walked Jones off the field. He was pulled for lack of hustle. It never happened again. In this video, Harper is shown twice. First time he didn't run hard to first base and was removed from the game. Second time he busted it and stretched a single into a double when the right fielder loafed. When Puig didn't leave the batters box he walked right past the manager, Terry Francona and coach and no one said anything to him. In fact, Francona went to him on the bench and put his arm around him to "console" him. Disgusting. No discipline. No consequences for their actions. Managers are also to blame for this pathetic display.
