Panda looked like a penguin on Monday night.

Third baseman Pablo Sandoval made a diving catch on an Adam LaRoche foul ball in the Boston Red Sox’s 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox. It wasn’t your standard web gem. Sandoval dove onto a rolled up tarp beside the wall, and his legs flew up into the air.
