I am looking for the highlight clip of this play...
From my perspective, Mojo ran around the catchers tag attempt at the plate, missing his touch at the plate, by that time Mojo slid to the other side of the umpire where the only way Mojo could touch the plate and avoid being tagged, was for Mojo to stick his leg between the empire's legs to make the tag at home plate.

It was fr!ckin@ AWESOME!!!

When that highlight comes about, someone please post it.
My skills are limited

 

[saluno22]

Not the Mojo highlight, but definitely a bigger moment...

 

[gunNrun]

The dad moment was pretty touching.

It was confusing at first...
2 kids came out to do the blindfolded find the money in the envelope thing (Dash for Cash) and everyone was like, "why are there 2 participants playing this game?"
But just after the blindfolds went on the kids, this serviceman kind of appeared out of a crowd of people...
Husker fans could see what was about to transpire, cheering the 2 kids to find the envelope, with dad waiting.

Good times at the ballpark!

Radio crew mentioned how both teams came out of their dugouts to applaud the moment as well. Pretty cool.

Highlights, but the camerawork on Mojo's dancing around the umpire isn't great.

 

[gunNrun]

Thank you! NC
Was just about the post that exact same video.

Yeah the clip they show in there, does not do the play justice.
Hopefully another one will surface.

Big thing is they got a shot of him sticking his leg between the umpire's legs to tap home plate. For us, the context is he slid wide of the plate and the umpire blocked access from the back side.

Radio crew was falling over laughing at what transpired.
