Title: I guess the greatest catch ever made was earlier today
Post by: Royalty on July 23, 2009, 07:27:12 PM
I've been listening to the radio and apparently a perfect game was thrown by a pitcher for the white sox. In the 9th inning a homerun was taken away, preserving the perfect game.the  Sportcasters sounded like it was more impressive than Willie mays' catch

I have, but I don't really enjoy it.  I'd rather just race around the lake full throttle.  ;D

It was a good catch, not great.

I don't even think it would deserve the number one spot on SC Top Ten of the day.

jumping catch in the warning track + saves a shut out + saves a PERFECT FUCKING GAME + it was made in the Ninth inning= one of the greatest catches ever

it ranks up their with Swoboda's game saver in the 69 series

But I've seen much better catches. Even Willie's was a bit overrated. Anyone see Kevin Mitchell's bare-hander?

he made that catch during that year where he ALMOST hit 50 homers, no?

47 HRs in '89. Made the catch in '87, when he hit 22. Then he started beating up coaches, umpires, and players in the minors or something.

Good luck finding video for any of it.

Video no longer available! Also says it was '87, not '89. Guess I'm getting old. I thought it was the same year as the Giant's/A's World Earthquake Series.

Can't find it anywhere. Couldn't find Ozzie's bare-hander either. MLB's pretty protective of their stuff, it seems.

Wikipedia says '89 too, so you guys are probably right. Earthquake Series, yeah.

Of course there's been better catches (Edmonds' catch comes to mind), but, when put into the context of the situation, it ranks up there as one of the greatest.

I agree about Tyree's catch being the greatest, though, both in context, and the physical catch itself.

Yeah, context matters, I was just talking spectacular and such. And I forgot about Edmonds - his was SICK!
