When I was nine, playing left field in Little league a guy hit one deep I was running for it, overran it by a little and caught it behind my back, the crowd, small crowd, went crazy...one of the best moments of my life...I'm sixty...I still remember it like it was yesterday. Every kid should play little league baseball.
The Jim Edmonds catch at the start is still the greatest catch I have ever seen. I would like to add that the Otis Nixon catch in 1992 over the fence to preserve the Atlanta Braves win streak when they had 1 hit (a solo home run from David Justice) should be listed among the greatest catches as well, not only for the catch but also for the atmosphere.
Otis Nixon digging cleats into the padding to get over the wall to rob a home run in the 1991 playoffs. The timing, it was over the wall, playoff game made it clutch and spectacular.
Jim Edmonds was a beast and had a career of making amazing catches in centerfield. Dude was a vacuum out there and really gave himself up. Bunch of awesome catches for sure. Those ones that saved no hitters make them really great. Got a new subscriber. Was fun to watch. Great video
I don’t even watch baseball but those are great touchdowns.

This is probably the best compilation of amazing catches I've seen yet.
Glad to see you included the classic Willie Mays over the shoulder catch.
Kirby Puckett’s game saving World Series catch was a great one, too

The one thing I learned from this video is that the Toronto Bluejays can jump.

In case it hasn't already been mentioned, Gregor Blanco's catch (the third in the video) preserved a perfect game for Matt Cain.

The Dewayne Wise catch (
Edmonds should be in Hall of Fame for his defensive skills in Center Field. He was unbelievable.
Ron Swoboda right field diving catch in game 5 of the 1969 worlds series against Baltimore - hands down best catch ever!
