I saw what is most likely my favorite defensive play in MLB that I've ever seen. In the 9th inning, future shitty manager Gabe Kapler hits a ball off of Mark Buehrle that is headed over the outfield wall. DeWayne Wise, a 9th inning defensive replacement, runs all the way from Gary, Indiana, leaps, catches the ball over the wall, bobbles it, maintains control, falls to the ground, and makes the catch. Oh, and that catch preserved Buehrle's perfect game. He went on to retire the the next two batters routinely. What a catch, what a moment.

Fantastic stuff. I love that, for the most part, every perfect game has one of these types of incredible plays which saves the day.

I was watching. The ball came off the bat and I thought "nope, there goes the no-hitter". When Wise pulled it in, I screamed "The fucker caught it. Holy shit!". My in-laws were upstairs, in-laws who never swore. My father in law watched the replay and said "I'll be damned". Never a fan of Hawk Harrleson but he made a great call.
Klaw is right. It was in a losing effort, but Carl Yastrzemski made an epic catch to save Billy Rohr's no-hit bid n his first start
Yankee fans giving a Red Sox icon a standing ovation. Had to be special

An amazing play for sure. And given the fact that it preserved the perfect game makes it that much more impressive.
This was just a random game with not much on the line but I still say this Jim Edmond's catch is the best catch I've ever seen. To dive parallel to the ground with the ball coming directly over your head is just insane!

I knew there was a HOFer who had a great catch to end a no hitter but couldn't remember. How could I forget Robin Yount
Hell of a catch when you consider it was his 1st or 2nd year in center
