They need to be more specific

According to what I found, 18th in Major League history, 16th in the modern era.

Did you see the ninth-inning grab?

Very impressive way to save the perfect game.

That was an impressive catch

Kapler nearly broke up everything with that swing, but a great run to even get to the ball, and nice work to keep from dropping the ball.

Very serious argument for the best catch in history.

Great catch, preserved a perfect game. Has historical context and amazing physical tools required.

Someone pay Eric Byrnes $500,000 to be extreme and base jump into the Grand Canyon. Then screw with his equipment. Please.

seems to have a standout defensive “save” play, but that was ridiculous! add in the scene’s timeline, the buzz that’s built up in the home crowd over the course of two hours as the hurler takes the mound beginning the ninth…. i guess the only way it could’ve been more dramatic is if it’d been the final out, eh?

since i don’t have espn/cable now, i was very curious to see this featured on the scoreboard at last night’s game. as it moved to the ninth and there was still no tribute, i thought, “at least they got their t-shirts and got to see mustard win”. but finally they did show a very nice recap.

hawk harrelson is just detestable, though.

the name of the team is The DIAMONDBACKS
