Grimm checks item off bucket list with between-the-legs snag

Chicago Cubs reliever Justin Grimm waited a long time for a chance to make a play between his legs. At Busch Stadium on Tuesday night, it finally happened.

"I've always wanted to do that, whether it's behind the back, between the legs," Grimm told MLB.com's Carrie Muskat after his club's 12-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. "I actually told the umpire that. It was pretty cool little play."

Grimm insisted he has never practiced that play, but Cubs manager Joe Maddon wasn't buying it.

"I'm sure he practices that in the offseason in his living room," Maddon said. "He's one of those guys definitely capable of bizarre in the bizarro world that he lives in."

Either way, though, a life-long dream came true Tuesday in St. Louis.

"Mark it off the bucket list," Grimm said.
