One of the best baseball plays you'll ever see!

This Web Gem is so good that deserves a post.

White Sox second baseman Tadahito Iguchi was in the middle of a dive and threw the ball while in the air and diving towards the dirt to get the runner (admittedly a very slow catcher) at first base. This was an absolutely incredible play!

Note: Let me know if there are issues with the link. I got it from the MLB web site, and they can be kind of bad sometimes about changing urls for, e.g., things that are no longer from the current day. This video shouldn't require any subscription, so there shouldn't be any problem there.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if this ends up as one of the best plays of the entire season.

(4/18/06 update: The direct link I attempted above doesn't work. I looked at MLB.com's page that gives the archives of the White Sox's top plays. The play in question occurred on 4/15/06, and it strangely doesn't seem to be among those listed. Maybe a google search can find it.)
