Rantings of a New Yorker

In the world of Baseball, this catch by Endy Chavez may be the best ever in the postseason. The ball, hit by St. Louis Cardinals’ Scott Rolen, was well hit and over the wall. A homerun for sure. But a timely jump allowed Chavez to reach over the wall and catch the ball from the clutches of the homerun gods. Instead of celebrating the catch, however, Chavez threw the ball into the infield to complete a 7-6-3 double play.

This catch caught the attention of the voters for the This Year in Baseball awards. They rewarded Chavez with the Postseason Moment of the Year Award.
