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. |

Would like to have seen that and can't find reference to it on their web site...bummer. I remember the Joe Rudi catch against the wall from one of the early 70's world series - one my favorites. |

1954 World Series.....Running full on at the outfield fence, making the catch, and turning and holding a runner to one base... |

You Yankee fans should remember a catch that occurred in a great but forgotten pennant race. |

...I'll echo Frank's sentiments; Donald Honig is just about as good as it gets. |

In a minor league game Dick Stuart stood out in Rightfield with his glove under his arm eating a bag of peanuts. He was the anti-Mays. |

Pretty sure everyone remembers Rodney McCray's catch, if not his name (I didn't). And unlike Bump Bailey, he lived... |

To decide which catch in Baseball is considered to be really great, one has to take into account |

I posted Willie's and Mickey's catches, not only because they were great....but, I knew it would prompt you to post. |

I was at the game when Derek Jeter ran into the outfield to catch a ball and then dove head first into the stands -- July 1, 2004. Also happened to be the best regular season game I've ever been to. |

I agree that there's nothing like a great defensive play. I grew up a Nettles fan. |

Al you mention a fine play. 4-20-78 (I looked that up), Jeff Burroughs (I knew that) hit the ball up the middle.... |

Dwight Evans off of a hit by Joe Morgan 1975 World Series, still the best in my eyes. |
