In case you didn't sit through the rain delay or see it elsewhere, here's the stunning throw that Aaron Hicks made from deep right-center field to third base -- on the fly -- to get Vernon Wells during Friday night's Twins-Yankees game.

Stick with the whole thing and you'll hear the stunned Yankees radio announcers, John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman, tell you just how impressed they were.

And New Yorkers, we all know, don't impress easily.

Enjoy.
