Battling Catchers

Don't challenge Tony Pena. Pena was hitting balls to the group of catchers to simulate wild pitches:

Jorge Posada, who has a great relationship with Pena, jumped in and challenged him to try and get one past him. Pena hit a sharp one-hopper that Posada caught with his bare hand and threw back at Pena.

Pena caught the ball and crushed a line drive at Posada, who wisely jumped out of the way.

As the drill broke up, I told Pena he was crazy.

"You just figuring that out now?" he said.

Someone should tell Tony Jorge has a long term contract.
