Hot as a Firecracker

Every now and again we’ll take a few seconds to give a shout out to someone who’s been red hot as of late, and today, the spotlight falls squarely on Shannon Stewart of the Oakland A’s.

Stewart has been on a tear for the past 9 games destroying pitchers confidence in every game. While the A’s have only posted a paltry 4-5 record during that span, its obviously not Stewart’s fault as he has gone 21 for 42 from the plate with 3 homers and 5 RBI, raising his average from .273 to .307 in the process. Not bad for a guy many baseball people had written off as washed-up coming into the year.
