MILWAUKEE — Before he’d been in the big leagues for a month, Elly De La Cruz joined a film crew to shoot a trailer for Tom Cruise’s latest “Mission; Impossible” movie.
Seriously.
The trailer was released this week.
Which was news to his Cincinnati Reds manager, David Bell, whose surprise left him “speechless” when he learned about it early Saturday afternoon.
But if anybody thought that was impressive, or thought that clip of Cruise driving a motorcycle over a cliff was breathtaking – or thought anything you’ve seen in the entire “Mission: Impossible” franchise was actually impossible – then get a load of what De La Cruz did in real life in the seventh inning of his 29th game in a major-league uniform on Saturday in Milwaukee.
