Chill out Harty

Darragh Murphy

Joe Hart has some of the best reflexes in the world of football with instinctual saves having become his strong suit in recent years.

But his instincts when met with a baseball are much less admirable.

The Manchester City stopper and teammate James Milner paid a visit to the training centre of MLB’s Toronto Blue Jays today where they had a go at some batting practice with Jose Bautista. 

Nobody really cares how well they got on with the bat in hand but what we do care about is the fact that, when a wayward ball flew Hart’s way, the England ‘keeper let out a shriek as though Ghostface from Scream had burst into the room.
