The clue on SPIN SERVE absolutely clotheslined me-and I've watched/played tennis plenty. If the grid itself isn't terribly showy, there is at least some interesting stuff going on in the cluing-stuff that slowed me down in an otherwise fairly EASY puzzle. Admittedly, it's hard to make 6-letter answers pop, but in a themeless, every section should have *something* to offer in the way of flash, and today the NW corner shines much brighter than the SE in that regard. In between those first answers is a solid center stack, but the longer Downs all felt a little tepid to me, and overall there just wasn't as much Pop as I like in a Friday. It started and ended well, as I opened with MATCHA (delicious, and answer-wise, fresh) and closed with the puzzle's best answer, BEERAMID (never drank enough to build one of these, but I've seen them in '80s teen movies, for sure).
I'm somewhere in the vast middle between " IS THAT IT?" and ALL-TIME GREATS on this one. Victorino was born on November 30, 1980, in Wailuku, Hawaii. He also won the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award in 2008 and the Branch Rickey Award in 2011. With the Red Sox, Victorino won his fourth Gold Glove Award and was a member of the 2013 World Series champions. With the Phillies, Victorino won three Gold Glove Awards, was named to two MLB All-Star Games, and was a member of the 2008 World Series champions.
He played for the Phillies from 2005 through 2012. Victorino made his MLB debut with the Padres in 2003. He was primarily a switch-hitter until the 2013 season, when discomfort from various hamstring, back, and knee problems forced him to become an exclusively right-handed batter. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the San Diego Padres, Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
