Cardinals pull off the first ever first-base-to-catcher-to-center-fielder double play
· Aug 30, 2020 · NottheBee.com

Literally the first time that's ever happened since records began in 1961.

With runners on first and third base, the Indians' Francisco Lindor hit a grounder to Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who threw it home to catcher Yadier Molina so that Cesar Hernandez, who was on third base, couldn't score.Molina ran down Hernandez on the third base line and tagged him out, then turned and started chasing Jose Ramirez back to second base. Molina faked like he was going to throw out Lindor at first base, but actually threw it to center fielder Dylan Carlson, who was covering second base and tagged out Ramirez.

A 3-2-8 double play. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

If you say "who cares" or "baseball is boring" then you have my pity and I will pray for you.
