A great catch to read about is mentioned in Baseball When the Grass was Real, by Donald Honig. It is in a part of the book about Spud Chandler. Honig's well written book is at its best when describing the catch, and it isn't Willie's 1954 catch.

I'd tell you guys about it, but it wouldn't do it justice. Get the book and at least read the bit about Spud Chandler.
