Reply to "Gary Matthews Jr-7/1/2006 (Greatest Catch Ever!)"

I completely agree with the title of this thread, that was the greatest catch I have ever seen, and I have seen Willie Mays' catch on numerous replays and shows.

As far as degree of difficulty and athleticism, Matthews Jr's catch is heads and tails above Mays in this one instance.

If Willie Mays makes his catch in a regular season game, we may never have talked about it.(Jim Edmonds has made that same catch at least a dozen times)

People will talk about Matthews Jr's catch for a long while.

If you haven't had a chance to see the catch it is on MLB.com's front page. You dont want to miss this one.
