New York Mets’ Daniel Murphy Makes Play of The Year

Total Pro Sports - You may have to watch this one twice to truly believe what you are seeing. Even Joe Torre was not convinced with what had just occurred in front of his eyes, hence his seemingly endless trot out to first base umpire Marty Foster.
During last night's game between the Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers in New York, Mark Loretta drilled a ball down the first base line. As Mets' first baseman Daniel Murphy went to chase it down, it bounced off the bag and into the air. Murphy quickly changed his direction, grabbed the ball, and flipped it behind his back somehow to pitcher Bobby Parnell, who was covering at first. It was a close play, one which could have gone to the runner, but when someone pulls of something that impressive, it's hard not to give it to him.
