EDITOR'S NOTE: You may now see the video of Mark Buehrle's amazing play of the year at MLB.tv.

Hyperbole gets thrown around about "Play of the Year (!)" type stuff in every sport during the first week of the season. Usually it's just something incredible that reminds us said sport is here. But there's a pretty good chance you won't see a play more ridiculous than what Mark Buehrle pulled off on Opening Day.


Buehrle took a batted ball off his foot, sprinted to the first-base line after it, grabbed the ball with his glove, and managed to flip it between his legs to first baseman Paul Konerko who bare-handed it for the out. In case you don't believe me (totally understandable, by the way), there's video proof below.
