Lastings Milledge nearly put a ball into orbit against the Chunichi Dragons on a cool night at half-full (at best) Jingu Stadium last Thursday.
After rounding the bases, Milledge celebrated his handiwork with a salute to teammate Wladimir Balentien and a seamless transition into a rendition of the salsa celebration New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz popularized in the NFL last season.
It was an entertaining display under the lights — as if a 4-for-5 night with a couple of homers wasn't entertainment enough — and to be sure the spotlight was on Milledge.
