I noticed the announcers didn't mention it was the LSU right fielder making the put out at second base to complete the double play.


That's actually exactly why I was looking for the video... using it to illustrate to some 12 year olds that regardless of position there is a place for you on every play.

Laird had another one a couple years ago... routine, can of corn, fly ball to right (Laird was CF at the time) and at the last minute the RF lost the ball in the lights and bailed out. Laird was hustling over and made a diving catch for the out.

Those plays never happen 1,000 times... but that 1,001st time and you're there and it is a game changer.

Such a shame we didn't win the CWS last year. Fun bunch of guys to watch.

I was at that game, too, but that catch by Laird bailing out Sean McMullen who was playing right field was already posted on the Rant by the time I got home from the game, so I've seen it multiple times.

It was also a great call on the play by Jim Hawthorne. Aaron Nola's grin after the play was about as much emotion as he ever showed in a game when he was pitching.

Here is a link to it. It never gets old.
