This behind-the-back glove-flip won Wednesday night baseball

Take a bow, Yunel Escobar.
Tampa Bay’s Yunel Escobar turned one of the slickest double plays of the season on Wednesday night in the Rays’ 5-1 win over the Red Sox.
In the bottom of the fourth inning and a man on first, Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia hit a ground ball to short. Escobar snagged it with his glove, then flipped the ball behind his back to Ben Zobrist, who caught it bare-handed and fired to first, completing as nice a double play as you will ever see.
Behind the back, with the glove, to the bare hand
