Greatest Catch in Angels History?

Hunter robbing Sexson last year in his first few games with the Angels… Not the best but a memorable one.

….and Edmonds over the shoulder catch in KC was better.

I went with Edmonds’ catch. I still remember watching it on TV when it happened like it was yesterday, just an amazing catch.

Not that today’s wasn’t great, because it was. I put the two catches in different categories: HR steals (Which that one now takes the cake) and non-HR steals (like Edmonds’).

I went C R A Z Y

because it was not only a game saver, but possibly a job saver. I mean if that goes out and Fuentes blows another one who knows where he would be. Torrii could have quite possibly saved his job and that energy is going to lead to nothing but great things!

But let’s not forget that one Matthews had 2 years ago. I don’t remember the opponent, but Lackey was pitching and GMJ robbed a homer to center. The replay showed Lackey shouting something like, ’That’s why we got him!"

Though to be honest, that may have been the only time I actually felt good about having GMJ on the Angels’ roster.

honestly who doesn’t like to watch this guy. if you haven’t seen the videos of him on you tube you should check them out. just type his name in and all kinds of good stuff comes up. he is the best thing to happen to this team in a few years. well this year at least.

that catch was AAAAAAAAAAAMAZING………….

greatest play I’ve ever seen in any sport……

Game-saver. Not as athletic or ridiculous as Edmonds’ catch though.

I was at the game today, and I think that catch was possibly the greatest play I have ever seen made in person at the stadium. It was seriously jaw-dropping.

come to mind.

Atheletic-wise…Edmonds was far more stunning.

However, the fact that the game was on the line and that Torii is totally a team player and showed it by how stoked he was by catching it, instead of playing it cool—made this catch all that more enjoyable and savory.

I love Torii, I dont care how much that dude makes, he comes to the ballpark to win, be a leader and give it his all. He truly loves the game and you can see that in the way he plays—And that is priceless and was exemplified today.

Torii smacks his face into the wall and still holds on

….and he was fired up. Torii has taken over on the leadership role and I hope they continue to feed off his enthusiasm and stellar play….dude is a flat-out gamer.

Come on Rev? No entries from before 1990?

I love the caption on the one of HK and Naps slapping high fives after scoring…the caption says it is Matthews and Napoli… :(

Did you guys see Saunders after he struck out Gullien in the 9th inning of Saturday’s game? I didn’t get in until late, but luckily remembered to record the game.

After Saundo struck out Guillen he turned towards the outfield (I guess he thought the camera wasn’t on him) and mouthed the words…

“Sit the f**k down motherf**ker!”

I had my wife read his lips as well and she confirmed what I thought he said. My wife was shocked because she always thought of Saundo as a “nice, clean-cut kid”

BAAA!

Was the post game shot of HGH and Chupa jumping on Torii in the outfield.

I’m sure Gary Pettis made some great grabs that are noteworthy???? Can’t think of the specific game.

In the same game remember Tori had a put out at 2nd on a single. He caught the ball on a bounce and got the runner advancing to 2nd. Is say so far Tori is the best free agent pick up in Angels history , not only skills on the field but great clubhouse guy. Just fun to watch him play.

Gary, Devo and Edmunds had some great catches. Gary Pettis was a highlight real in center, just could not hit, great base stealer.

It was considered by many people as the best catch of all time. Torii’s catch yesterday was awesome but Edmonds catch was just impossible.

I do remember a catch, I really liked, a year or two ago at Yankee Stadium. Reggie Willits climbed a wall in RF foul territory and made a spectacular catch.

That was legit, although, I wouldn’t say it was better than Torii’s yesterday because that one saved a game.

A quick survey of youtube was a no go. I think I have it on a floppy disk somewhere from when the Angels handed them out in like 01 or something, but im not sure I can find it/play it.
