- Cathinkmonkey, on 03/17/2008, -2/+29Phenomenal catch! but in MLB, that's a home run...
- super8mtb, on 03/17/2008, -1/+28I'm surprised he got up so quickly.
- KingGorilla, on 03/17/2008, -1/+27Can we get this man some bacon???
- unloud, on 03/17/2008, -1/+17Beware the uuiU
- Soave, on 03/17/2008, -0/+14Posting the uuiU link is NEVER well played.
- grumpy1377, on 03/17/2008, -2/+16lol @ the commentator's reaction, no enthusiasm at all,
i would've been like: OMGWTFQQ!!YVF!@*F@!!@! - fubuvsfitch, on 03/17/2008, -0/+13Uhh... that's not baseball. That's softball.
- oofgeg, on 03/17/2008, -0/+10WTF does he mean by "Oscar-worthy catch"?
- unearth, on 03/17/2008, -1/+9"Home run = Over fence" isn't always true. This is a home run because he basically left the field to catch it. He's completely out of play when he makes the catch, and lands out of play. If he landed back on the field, or maybe caught it and THEN crossed the fence, it would be an out. But he is nowhere close to that.
There's a reason catchers don't climb into the stands to catch foul popups. That said, amazing ***** catch anyway, and it looks like they're counting it as an out. - xtmno3, on 03/17/2008, -0/+7LOSING. Losing with one O, not two. Two Os makes it loosing, as is similar to "I am loosening up my belt to give you a beating the likes of which you can't imagine if you can't figure out how to spell losing with just one O."
- inactive, on 03/17/2008, -1/+7holy *****!
- zdiddy85, on 03/17/2008, -3/+8I see no walls being jumped over in these videos.
- inferno10, on 03/17/2008, -1/+5Grab some pine, meat!
- cbergstrom, on 03/17/2008, -0/+3Here's actually right, to my surprise. I thought the grandparent was right but here's the official rule:
6.05
A batter is out when --
(a) His fair or foul fly ball (other than a foul tip) is legally caught by a fielder;
Rule 6.05(a) Comment: A fielder may reach into, but not step into, a dugout to make a catch, and if he holds the ball, the catch shall be allowed. A fielder, in order to make a catch on a foul ball nearing a dugout or other out-of-play area (such as the stands), must have one or both feet on or over the playing surface (including the lip of the dugout) and neither foot on the ground inside the dugout or in any other out-of-play area. Ball is in play, unless the fielder, after making a legal catch, falls into a dugout or other out-of-play area, in which case the ball is dead.
So, unless you have one or more feet situated out of play when the catch is made (you can't go into the stands and then catch the ball), the ball is considered caught and each runner can only move up one base. (RULE 7.04) - cawpin, on 03/17/2008, -0/+3No, you have to come down in play or have one of your feet in, or over, fair territory when you catch it. The guy in the video didn't so it's a home run.
- andregriffin, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2You have given me great shame.
- Twinfire0, on 03/17/2008, -1/+3^Dugg down for completely missing the point.
- gapinthevoid, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2go marquette and its dome of superiorness!
- castevens, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1He was acting the catch, it wasn't real
- uncertainty, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1I'm sorry, but no. THIS is the most amazing baseball homerun-stealing catch...

Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS. Chavez robbed Rolen. I don't care if they ultimately lost the game, it was a fantastic catch. - inactive, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1Stupid play. It would have landed infield if he would have just let it hit the ground.
- inactive, on 03/17/2008, -2/+3ok now post a working link
- AZTriGuy, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1That, and I'm not downloading yet another media player to my computer. It's hosed up enough as it is, I don't need SilverLight mucking it up any more...
- Radan, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1Screw the catches! I demand to have that last guy's hat.
- funkyrenegade, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1Superiority
- aaron4, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1hey, they were playing in the largest wooden dome sports arena.
- DKSprocket, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1I'm no baseball fan and I'm sure that catch you linked to was difficult, but he's nowhere near the epic style of the guy that got digged.
- Codee, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1Now that was cool.
- LLamaStar, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1that looks like a little league fence...and that looks like a softball.
wtf is going on here... - DoubleyouTeeEff, on 03/17/2008, -1/+2"Despite Collar's efforts his team ended up losing the game."
Epic lulz. - nakp88d, on 03/17/2008, -9/+9Learn2Cricket guys,and I don't mean it in a disrespectful manner,just that I surprised to find this catch being treated with such high regard.He uses a glove in the first place and secondly there is no way of confirming the integrity of that catch.

- gameyharp, on 03/17/2008, -1/+1I live 40 miles away from MQT :X.
- alucinante, on 03/17/2008, -1/+1nice.
- mshea093, on 03/17/2008, -1/+1Did I hear UW Steven's Point?
I got kicked out of there my senior year, huh! - Magnolit, on 03/17/2008, -1/+1Bacon intravenous injection coming right along!
- gordonjones, on 03/17/2008, -0/+0you betcha, eh!
- wihamilton, on 03/18/2008, -0/+0Wow that guy was flying
- letshortyplay, on 03/17/2008, -1/+1That's what she said
- cbergstrom, on 03/17/2008, -0/+0No, the rules say that it depends on where you are when you catch it, not where you land. You just can't climb into the stands and situate yourself there to make a catch. But as long as you catch it while you're going over the wall, you're fine.
- cawpin, on 03/17/2008, -1/+1It's the same in baseball. Learn before criticizing.
- ogletree, on 03/17/2008, -2/+1Looks like it falls out of the glove to me.
- gwtgator, on 03/17/2008, -2/+1my favorite example of this is jose canseco's effort:
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=887_1192881315 - CoreGMRConMan, on 03/17/2008, -3/+1first off. its softball, second off it is an out if he catches it diving over the fence. As long as his body doesn't make contact with the ground opposite the wall BEFORE he touches it. (like players diving into the stands for foul balls, same thing.) finally, this is the greatest catch of all time http://pittsburgh.pirates.mlb.com/media/player/mp_ ...
- JPCordero, on 03/17/2008, -4/+2Actually as long as the player doesn't throw the ball back onto the field before coming back over the fence it's a valid catch in the MLB
- Forlack, on 03/17/2008, -6/+4Home run = over fence...still a great catch though
- Twinfire0, on 03/17/2008, -3/+0Damn, I never notice the url until right after I click it. Hate it when that happens...
- generaljojo, on 03/17/2008, -4/+1EPIC
