A day after being selected for the 2013 All-Star Game and with the game on the line in New York, Manny Machado knocked a grounder toward the dugout, picked it up and made an amazing throw off of his back foot to end the sixth.
Immediately, national writers took notice. Here are just a few tweets in reaction to Machado's amazing play.
Somewhere, Brooks Robinson is saying: I can't believe Manny Machado got to that ball.

Machado, momentum taking him deep into foul ground, threw across body to get out at first. Probably best infield throw I've seen in person.
