Here's a video of the top 25 catches of all time.

I predict even the most hardcore baseball fan here will watch this and say "Who gives a f***?"

Amazing how expectations change when you take the glove away.

Can he make circus catches?
Can he run down well hit balls?
Can he throw a runner out at third from right field?
Can he make a strong throw to first from deep in the hole?

Matt Kemp demonstrated 3 of the 4 in the last 2 days. And given a chance to learn shortstop I Bet he'd be able to add the 4th. It's a shame he's not already on the All Star roster, I certainly hope the final vote ends in his favor.

Jonathan Sanchez just threw the first no-hitter in 33 years for the Giants. He was perfect until an error in the 7th.

No-hitters are overrated. No Mets pitcher has ever thrown a no-hitter, and they've done just fine. In 1969, at the second game I ever went to, Bob Moose of the Pirates no-hit the Mets. The Mets won the World Series that year. A few years later, Bob Moose was dead.
