T.J. Rivera made a sweet leaping grab and shovel pass on this grounder off the first-base bag

The name T.J. Rivera could easily fit on a 1970s network television action-drama. You could imagine Rivera as the roguish detective leaping over the hood of his car and winking at the camera before making his bust. 
In our 2017 reality, we have the actual Rivera playing first base for the Mets as they defeated the Giants, 6-1, on Tuesday night. Sure enough, though, this Rivera can still produce the highlight-reel goods. 
In the top of the ninth, Conor Gillaspie laced a ground ball that came in contact with the chaos-causing agent best known as the first-base bag. Fortunately, action star Rivera was there to make the leaping grab before making the shovel pass to Jeurys Familia to record the out. 

"Oh my goodness. I was watching it the whole way," Rivera told MLB.com's Anthony DiComo after the game. "I couldn't tell if it was going to be fair or foul and I wasn't even thinking about the base. I just kind of reacted. Yeah, I got up there a little bit."
<o:p>Of course, Rivera wasn't content to just play defense. He collected three hits and raised his OPS on the season to .888. 
All that's left to complete the action-hero look: Aviator shades.
