No. Media loves sucking that kids cock though.

Very impressive

Valiant · 06-27-2012, 06:36 PM

It is really impressive, but I do not know about best catch of the year..

SnakeXJones · 06-27-2012, 06:42 PM

I wouldnt even say it was the best catch of the month

Fairplay · 06-27-2012, 06:45 PM

Darn good catch, best of year?

Dr. Johnny Fever · 06-27-2012, 07:02 PM

Damn good. Not likely the best.

-King- · 06-27-2012, 08:23 PM

Not even close to the best.

There are a lot of diving catches that are better. And I don't even think that's the best wall grab I've seen this year.

I'm a little more impressed after seeing it in slo mo. That white boy leaped at the edge of the track and hit the top of a seven foot wall with his ribs.

hella vert and timing..reminds me of a WR.

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

Thats funny. He's 20 years old and is leading the league in hitting (.340 I believe after tonight) stolen bases (19 or 20 after tonight), and is in the top 5 in a few other categories. He post the fastest time from home to 1st from the right side in the MLB and since he has come along, The Angels have turned their season around. Not sure he gets all the credit, but he has been quite the spark plug.

The media isnt sucking his cock, he's slapping their face with it.

Not sure about best catch of year since theres still more year to go, but its one of the best thus far at the very least...

And tonight, I bet both MLB network and ESPN have it as their top play. NO DOUBTER.

Nice catch but hardly the best.

jd1020 · 06-27-2012, 10:17 PM

Not sure how anything can surpass the Yankee going into the stands after a ball, not catching it, but yet... catching it.
