    Giancarlo Stanton against the Phills (Not really amazing but would have put the phills ahead in the game)

    I'm pretty sure a GIANT most likely made the greatest catch ever.

    Willie Mays Hays in Major league - caught the ball in his hat.
    Another habit says it's in love with you
    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    No wall climbing involved but I am always partial to the Mitchell bare handed grab:

    That and the Edmonds dive:

    I was at a game one time engrossed in conversation with my sister and heard the crack of the bat but was too caught up in talking to be watching. Saw something out of the corner of my eye, put my hand just above sisters head palm up and- whomp! Right into the palm of my hand. Sister safe! Wish I had footage!

    Cool! Pete Rose. Damn! You see that kind of hustle (he always played like that) and then realize he'll probably never make the Hall of Fame. What a shame. I can never quite get around the thought of that.

    You see lots of catches where guys dive to the side or in front of them. Not many with a dive going towards the wall. Also preserved a perfect game:
