The Cubs' game-ending glove-flip-to-barehanded-grab-and-scoop double play was art
The Cubs beat the Pirates on Saturday at Wrigley Field by a 10-4 score -- not exactly the type of game you'd think would be able to end dramatically, given the six-run difference. However, Javier Baez, Addison Russell and Anthony Rizzo teamed up for an impossibly good and very smooth double play to seal the deal:

Are they wizards? From Baez's flying catch and glove-flip to Russell's barehanded grab, spin and throw and Rizzo's scoop at first, this required three perfect performances, and the trio of Cubs nailed it.
Wizards, I tell you.
Adrian Garro joined MLB.com in 2016. Throughout his travels, both Bartolo Colon and Vin Scully have placed their hands on his shoulders. Not at the same time, though. That'd be amazing.
