Post your all-time favorite OF play. If it works we can do another for IF.

 

My favorite is not even a Blue Jays play but Endy Chavez in 2006 NLCS Game 7 (Mets vs. Cards). Tie game, bottom of the 6th. Scott Rolen hit a deep fly ball to LF, Chavez was running back at full speed, leaped, his arm stretched out well over the fence to just barely grab it and they ended up turning it into a double-play. All this happened over an AIG sign that read "THE STRENGTH TO BE THERE". Though the Mets went on to lose that game it was just incredible in the moment.

The fact he did it in back to back days made it even more exciting

 

I know one of them was a running error but still great to watch

Edwin and Casey were pretty pumped about it

You said play, not catch, so probably the Canseco head homer

BO's nailing harry reynolds at home

 

im at work cant post a link, but I assure you it was f***ing flithy

[Brownie19]

These 3 came to mind....

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSFkhzpTnVU - Ankiel's throw home....runner doesn't dare test him.

 

- Edmonds "the catch"

 

- Wise saves Buehrle's perfect game

 

 

We could do this for decades guys...so many amazing plays in baseball history. Jeter's flip (even if he was safe, what a play).

I feel really bad for Barton. Way too much abuse he's had to take ever since and he wasn't the only fool reaching for the ball. It also looked like it was going to hit him on review.

Yeah - that's a crazy 30 for 30 episode.

 

The guy who was also reaching for the ball, but missed it must thank his lucky stars everyday.

This absurdly accurate throw by Jeff Francouer from 2011:

 

 

Edit: realized this is only outfield plays.

runner up- Bo Jackson running up the wall

1st- 1988 Mets vs. Reds Strawberry saving a HR and starting his throw to 2nd for the double play before his feet were on the ground (I was at this game).

 

Best Blue Jays- Tie between Devon White and Pillar (Pillar's was more impressive but Whites was during the World Series)

 

 

Edit: always liked Kevin Mitchel's bare handed catch (though it was more of blooper)

[jdmo]

 

jose guillen, "the throw"

[bendera3]

I wouldn't do an infield version. All the trolls will just say "all of Jeter's jump throws"

[TwistedLogic]

For OF, it's already been mentioned, but Wise's catch to save Buehrle's perfecto was amazing.

 

Ruggiano made this great play against Lawrie a few years back:

 

Rajai's catch over the wall is still great, even though Pillar took away some of its luster last night:

Non-OF, Buehrle himself made one of the greatest plays I've ever seen:

Of course I also have to mention Jeter's cutoff to nab Giambi at home.
