is this not the greatest catch ever seen?

I agree about Ozzie Smith. Though I think the best defensive play I've ever seen was of all people, Tsuyoshi Shinjo in San Francisco the year we had him. Actually it wasn't in San Francisco it was in Montreal. And Shinjo made the most ridiculous play I've ever seen, there was a runner on 1st I believe with a head start and the ball got hit into the alleyway and rolled all the way to the wall for what looked like an easy score, EASY. Shinjo went SPRINTING over to the ball rolling on the ground and in a single motion, he scooped the ball off the ground and threw it back to the diamond off his backfoot with his momentum taking him away. The ball went over the cutoff man's head and got to Benito Santiago at home plate to the first base side and in one motion he caught the ball on the backhand and then dove back for home plate and the runner was gone. It was CRAZY.

Shinjo was always fun to watch if just for the laughs...

It's a shame he hit for like .200 as a Giant because he was awesome. But I can't say I miss the asian girls going CRAZY over him. Best seats I ever had was half watching security holding back the crazy Asian girls trying to get pictures. Was nuts
