At the end of his follow-through, Story flung the bat forward like a helicopter rotor before circumnavigating the bases. The moment (which took place in an eventual 3-1 Red Sox win) captured so much for Story: A rugged at-bat culminating in a great swing against the sort of pitch (a mid- to upper-90s heater) that has beaten him so many times in recent years. For Story, it was a moment to celebrate — not because the feeling of hitting a ball like that was foreign, but because it wasn’t.
