What A Fabulous Catch, Endy Chavez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you see the catch by Endy Chavez for the Mets tonight? If you missed it, be sure to watch the sports news to see the replay. It was a fabulous catch in an extremely crucial moment of the game that decided whether the Mets or Cardinals will face the Tigers in the World Series.

In a tie game, in the sixth inning, with Jim Edmonds on first base, Scott Rolen hit a ball that went over the left field fence!But Chavez leapt and caught the ball. Edmonds had already rounded second. So when Chavez came back to the ground, he was able to double Edmonds out at first to end the inning! I have disliked the Mets since 1986, but no true fan could do anything but applaud that play!

It has been 55 years since Willie Mays made the play that is still called “THE CATCH” in the World Series against the Indians. The only reason I would rate that play as more awesome than the one I saw tonight is because it was actually in the World Series.

What is the best catch or most important play you have ever seen?
