Victor Martinez's Amazing Slide: Tigers Star Dances Around Tag (VIDEO)

MLB Star Dances Around Catcher

Last night during the Tigers-A's game in Detroit, Tigers star Victor Martinez pulled off one of the better plays at home plate you'll ever see.

In a play that brings to memory the exploits of Willie Mays Hayes in the movie "Major League," Martinez hustled all the way from first base to right in front home plate when the A's delivered the ball catcher Kurt Suzuki. Martinez, then seemingly stuck in no man's land, used a little imagination, shimmying left and right before touching the plate a split second before Suzuki tagged him.

The run itself was inconsequential, the Tigers ultimately blew out the A's 8-3, but the play at home was certainly one to remember.
