The batter hits a ball hard up the middle. A-Rod (still a short stop then) dives to his left (towards second base) and gloves the ball. But he is lying on his back, and the runner from first is racing toward second base, so A-Rod, unable to even see second base, flips the ball with his glove hand back over his head to the second baseman who is able to turn the double play.
The Red Sox fans gave him a standing ovation for that play.
