Panel 1: Between innings, a woman at the fence holds up her phone to Sam. Woman: ‘I got my husband's slide into third!’

Panel 2: Close on the phone video: her husband slides into third amid dust. A blurred umpire extends his arms in a safe call; the runner and fielder remain clear. Phone: ‘SAFE!’

Panel 3: The woman smiles at her phone while Sam stands beside her. Woman: ‘Look at that hustle.’

Panel 4: Close on Sam, deadpan. Sam: ‘Good angle.’

An ordinary guy. Mostly.

Sam calls the game. The rest of his life is harder to explain.
