Holy shit, you have no idea how high he scores on the grit-o-meter.
Skip Schumaker is the KING of the headfirst slide into 1b. What he losses in soft hands at 2b, he makes up for by willing to let the ball bounce off his face before unleashing a rocket to 1b (it really is impressive how willing he is to keep his chest square to the ball and knock it down to complete the force; fundamentally perfect, you just don't often see it at this level).
If grit is what you're after, there isn't a better guy available.
