Baseball is undoubtedly a team sport; you need the entire operation working together in order to achieve success. Kentucky baseball has found a recipe that works this season, from home plate, to the mound, to the outfield and the dugout.
That camaraderie follows the Wildcats all the way out of the ballpark, into the parking lot, onto the street and through every roundabout (twice!).
Get weird? More like... get around that roundabout... Twice?!

Whether he's taking an extra lap around a roundabout, "shaking it off" in a huddle, or getting his broom ready for a celebratory sweep, "Mr. Jackie" is always willing and ready to go the extra mile for Kentucky baseball.
