Greatest Catch Ever?

[AngelsLakersFan]

I think it's just one of those things where 'it will never happen' and thus there is no rule against it. These very few great plays are examples of where the line blurs, but is it realistic to think anyone could go beyond that? I don't know, but there will be an awesome uproar when it happens. 

I hope its the Red Sox who get screwed over by it (it will probably be the Angels).

At the very least, Catch of the Year. Are you kidding me?!

Austin Jackson. And the game itself was crazy.

It was a two foot jump and reach over the fence.  Catch wasn't that special.  If it wasn't for the short fence it would have been just a stolen hr.

Tryouts at Baltimore, Edmonds at KC and even gmj in Texas were more spectacular catches.

Nice play but... it shouldn't be an out if you can't land on your feet in fair territory.

Disagree.  If your in play when you catch it then it should be an out.

Exactly, there are more than just a few throughout MLB each year, where the player falls into the stands to catch the ball.

I forgot how seriously incredible that catch was. It looks like he got lucky, throwing his glove up at the last moment. But still pretty amazing.

I would guess that Matthews thinks this is the best catch ever.
