Meh... he misplayed it and had to recover. Impressive, but not a great catch.

I can't get the video to play, but is that where he robbed Mike Lamb of a HR?

Yep. He basically did it without looking, contorted his body and took the video game double-jump off the wall to rob the home run (he ran a considerable distance as well).

The Ken Griffey Jr. one at Tiger stadium. I was 7 years old when I attended that game and saw it. He put his arm all the way over the wall and bought back Bobby Higginson's home run.

Anything and everything Griffey did in center while playing for the Mariners.

This is what I was going to say. That catch gives me goose bumps everytime I see it.

Or his catch where he slams into the wall in the Kingdome and breaks his wrist.

This Gary Matthews Jr catch was a pretty big deal and amazing when it happened. Im pretty sure it made the newspapers and all.

didnt realize people had already mentioned it. Oh well it was a big deal here in Arlington for a town that is all about football.
