The best catch I've ever seen was Brian McCrae vs. Pat Kelley in like 1993. I wish someone would ever find that.

Top of the 9th - royals were already down by 3 - bases loaded 2 outs. Pat Kelley hits a screamer to the gap that's tailing away - some how McCrae twists his body and catches the thing completely laid out facing mostly away from the plate.

Royals end up scoring 4 in the bottom of the inning to win - I think on a grand slam. Possibly by Mike McFarlane.

Edit: ok here it is. Naturally I had a lot wrong: http://www.baseball-reference.com/bo...99304150.shtml

It was at Yankees stadium not Kaufman, and the Royals were down by 4 at the end of the inning. But scored 5 to win. Sad that the only note for McCrae's catch is: b8 4-0 2 123 9,(2-2) O NYY P. Kelly F. DiPino 0% 1% Flyball: CF
