Do a little dance, flash a little glove...

Known simply as "The Catch" (haha...not really), this is one of the finer plays from the tournement. This over-the-shoulder basket catch made in the third game of the tournament proably saved a run.

Many thanks to Julien Dormard for having his camera ready. Although maybe not an Omar Visquel caliber webgem, you gotta throw a bone to some of us lesser athletic specimens right?

Somehow it felt so much more agile that it actually looks in the photo. Note for next time: the flailing right arm somehow detracts from the gracefulness of a superb play.

Cheers

Hey Pal, Great catch, even looks artful to me. What people need to know is the concentration, anticipation, experience and jump you need to get off the bat to even be in the possition to make that paly! Kind of reminds me of the play that you didn't make against Oberlien College OH, your Sophmore year in college! But if I remember correctly, you Hit the ball very well in that game(even stole a base or two), and sometimes it's hard to have both!!! Keep Smiling, as you are very Blessed! Love Dad.......always your most thrilled and loyal fan!
