Double Slide

A fun double play in Cleveland. With Broussard on 2nd and none out, Belliard hit a comebacker to the pitcher. Broussard had strayed too far from 2nd, and Garland had him dead to rights. Garland threw to the SS Valentin, who threw to the third baseman Crede, who ran Ben back to 2nd. As Broussard neared 2nd, Crede tossed back to Valentin who tagged the sliding Broussard. At the same time, Belliard comes into the picture sliding into 2nd from the 1st base side. Valentin just swept his glove to the other side of the bag and tagged Belliard. Two players both out sliding into 2nd.
