We've all seen 1-6-3 double plays before. What about a 1-Ump-6-3 double play? That's a new one.
Thursday night in Dayton, Ohio, the Class A Dayton Dragons (Reds) did indeed turn a 1-Ump-6-3 double play against the South Bend Cubs. Check it out:

Well, that's fun! That played out so perfectly that it almost seems like the video is fake, but no, it's real and it's spectacular. The ball did bounce perfectly off the umpire to the shortstop. Give that ump an assist.
