After a controversial series against the New York Mets, St. Louis Cardinals are playing a four-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Cardinals veteran Yadier Molina stole the limelight with his quick presence of mind on the plate on Thursday.

The victory in the third game against the Mets is proving to be an excellent motivation for the Cardinals players. Because they have started their series with a convincing win in the first game against the Diamondbacks.

The Cardinals have some MLB veterans like Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina, and Adam Wainwright by their side. And the kind of experience they bring to the table, the Cardinals can take on any team on any given day. On Thursday, while playing against the Diamondbacks, Molina did something unexpected in the ballpark that also worked for the Cardinals.

Fans applaud Yadier Molina for stealing second base

Although the Cardinals won the first game against the National League rivals, Arizona Diamondbacks, Yadier Molina stole the show by stealing the second base. In the sixth inning of the game, a 39-year-old Molina stole a base right under the nose of the Diamondbacks players.

Corbin Martin was on the mound, while Paul DeJong was at the shortstop position. Still, Moina managed to steal a base with a quick run. And the Cardinals fan jumped in joy and gave a standing ovation to their talisman.

Talking about Molina, the Cardinals pitcher Dakota Hudson said that he has got wheels on his feet. He called him a baseball genius. “Guy’s got wheels,” Dakota Hudson said. “What can he not do? Yadi is a baseball genius.”
