    How lame?

    I mean digging up a catch from years ago? And catch of the century?

    Edmonds makes more athletic, better catches than that on a weekly basis.

    Willie Mays' over the shoulder catch is widely regarded as the best ever.


    Spam boy you are going to have to admit that the yankees don't hold the title for every thing, even something as inane as 'catch of the century'

    I agree that it was a great catch, but it was not the greatest. The running into the stands was spectacular, but that happened because he just couldn't stop running. I replayed it and noticed that he actually caught the ball in FAIR TERRITORY!

    I vote Jim Edmonds, game 74 of the 2005 NLCS.

    what about david wright's over the shoulder bare handed grab about 2 weeks ago?

    CENTURY?? Surely you jest.

    definitely top one for that Week at that time.

    That catch is overglorified soley on the fact that Garciapopup was on the bench with his thumb up his behind, and Jetes was out there throwing his nose into the stands. By the way I think the Glass Menagerie Nomar hurt himself again last night. Catch of the century no.

    I'm not clicking on this link, but if this is the Jeter running into the stands catch - are you kidding me?

    This is about as lame a declaration as I have ever seen here. As Axtell mentioned, Willie Mays made the catch of the century - and David Wright's catch last week was just as impressive as this Jeter thing.

    Please, can the spam stop? image

    As spectacular as May's catch was I think the throw was even more amazing. I wonder how many more spectacular catches we never saw pre ESPN

    Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's

    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    You do realize that this century is only 4+ years old.

    That wasn't the greatest play of the century, it wasn't the greatest play in Yankees history, and it wasn't even the greatest play of 2004.
