VIDEO: Jose Iglesias is a Nimble Magician
By Kyle Koster
The old saying goes: it’s not whether you fall down, it’s whether you get back up. I’d humbly submit that it’s also about how quickly you get back up after seeing the play Jose Iglesias made Wednesday night.
The Detroit Tigers shortstop ranged far to his left for a Tim Anderson groundball and corralled it with a dive. He then was magically upright and making an on-target throw to first base.
It was like when kids are playing “the floor is lava” game, which, it turns out, doesn’t develop many applicable life skills if one isn’t a professional athlete.
