Re: Greatest Defensive Play ...Ever?(Baseball)
Spectacular, yes. Not even close to the best ever. I'm not even sure if I put it above Ichiro's scaling of the wall this year.

Re: Greatest Defensive Play ...Ever?(Baseball)
Kevin Mitchell's barehanded catch was more impressive to me than that, although it's obviously a great play.
Ozzie Smith, with the Padres, barehanding a hard-hit grounder that took a bad hop was a thousand times better. Edmonds diving towards the centerfield wall...Griffey, Jr. scaling the centerfield wall was incredible. |
Re: Greatest Defensive Play ...Ever?(Baseball)
Yeah, I wouln't put it as the best ever, just thought it was a great play. Couldn't think of a better thread title, plus it promotes discussion.

Re: Greatest Defensive Play ...Ever?(Baseball)

Re: Greatest Defensive Play ...Ever?(Baseball)

Ozzie's smith barehanded bad-hop diving catch gets my vote for the best ever as well.

Re: Greatest Defensive Play ...Ever?(Baseball)
Jeter diving headfirst into the stands?
|
Re: Greatest Defensive Play ...Ever?(Baseball)
Yeah, I hate him, but I think Jeter's face-plant into the stands was a better play.
|
Re: Greatest Defensive Play ...Ever?(Baseball)
holy shit.
although not defensive, i still think izzy alcantara was amazing with his offensive play :lol |

I still think Jeter's diving into the stands was a case of overacting. Sure he was running fast, but he could have stopped if it wanted, he had about 15 feet to do it, IIRC.

screw that. most overated play ever maybe. he caught it and then jumped in the stands but he easily made the catch before he went into the stands. funny thing is that same night someone made a catch where they really were diving into the stands, but he wasn't derek jeter so nobody even talked about it |
Re: Greatest Defensive Play ...Ever?(Baseball)
Ozzie Smith, bitches!

well jeter has to get attention. i mean, it is hard to find a halfway decent ball player who is also a homosexual. |
Re: Greatest Defensive Play ...Ever?(Baseball)
Ozzie Smith's was pure amazement. He wins.
|
Re: Greatest Defensive Play ...Ever?(Baseball)
Then there's Walt Weiss, mainly because of all the pressure in the situation

Ozzie Smith's barehanded grounder or one of numerous Omar Vizquel plays. He is amazing.
|
Re: Greatest Defensive Play ...Ever?(Baseball)
Meh, Otis Nixon scaling the center field wall to snag a homer from andy van slyke (i think it was him) was prob one of the better plays ive seen. That was a fantastic catch though.
