Must see: Miguel Sano takes a pop-up off his head in Rochester

In a play you have to see to believe, Miguel Sano lost the baseball in the sun and had a teammate come to the rescue.

Twins slugger Miguel Sano is nearing the end of a rehab stint with Class AAA Rochester. He's all but healed from a left hamstring strain that has kept him out of the big leagues for nearly a month.

There's been much debate about what to do with Sano in the field when he comes back to the Twins. Does he stay in right field? Spend time at third? Neither?

Or maybe - just maybe - he'll retire and be the charter member of a Harlem Globetrotters-like traveling baseball circus. Sano's even got his first trick down pat: Misplay a pop-up, doink it off his melon and have a teammate complete the wackiest 5-3 putout ever.

OK - that's not going to happen. But that play really did happen Wednesday afternoon in Rochester.

Please do enjoy.
