PHOENIX — Within the same game that Albert Pujols hit two home runs to make history there was another highlight that will be played for years to come to explain historic excellence.
It’s a play teammates say only Nolan Arenado could make and it will be one replayed time and time again for decades as a signature feat.
First baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who was on the receiving end of Arenado’s throw, called it “almost impossible.”
In the sixth inning of Saturday’s game at Chase Field, Arizona’s Alek Thomas chopped a grounder that bounded high over pitcher Andre Pallante’s head.
