Iglesias turns DP -- and sings -- during in-game interview

Ballplayers who can hit for average and power, run, field and throw are called five-tool players.

Entertainers who can act, sing and dance are called triple threats.

Jose Iglesias appears to have some ability in all eight of those tools.

During the bottom of the second inning of the Mets' 12-3 Subway Series victory at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, Iglesias wore a microphone and earpiece for an in-game interview with ESPN's Karl Ravech, David Cone and Eduardo Pérez. Playing second base, Iglesias talked about the origin of his recent single, "OMG," released under his Candelita stage name.

With one out and J.D. Davis on first base, DJ LeMahieu hit a sharp ground ball -- 105.8 mph exit velocity -- that Mets third baseman Mark Vientos stopped with a dive. From one knee, he threw sidearm to Iglesias at second base, who made the relay to first for an inning-ending double play.

As Iglesias jogged off the field, Pérez asked in Spanish that he sing to him: "Cántame. Cántame." Without missing a beat, Iglesias turned toward the camera that accompanied him across the third-base line and sang the opening line, "Oh my god! Todo lo malo échalo pa’ allá."

Translation: "Oh my god! Throw all the bad things away from here."

And as we saw from Iglesias' turn to first, his throwing tool is as strong as his singing ability.
