Major League Baseball has joined the fun in recent seasons by “miking up” players during games and this year, the “Sunday Night Baseball” broadcast on ESPN has used a rotating list of superstars to give fans an inside look and listen during the action. Each week during a Sunday night game, one player will say on the air who they nominate for the following week’s contest and this time around it was New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor’s turn.
During the top of the third inning with one out and a runner on first, while manning his position out on the diamond, the four-time All-Star was being asked about teammate and fellow All-Star Eduardo Escobar. In the middle of his interview, Lindor casually fielded a scalding 102 mile per hour grounder and started an inning-ending, 6-4-3 double play.
