    Raja Davis Catch

    Possibly the best catch ever in baseball. He not only robbed a home-run but timed his climb off the wall perfectly. The guy is like 5'9 and climbed a 9 foot wall. That was sick.

    Mike Trout's catch in Baltimore was better.

    That was sick, he followed the ball then even looked away to time his jump off the wall while having to find the ball again.

    Best catch ever? It wasn't even the best catch in Jays history. Nice catch though in a meaningless game

    Trout's was amazing as well but I gotta say that I think Rajai's was better. What Cuse said...the fact that he had to turn around and climb a huge wall, turn around and spot the ball. Could not have been any more perfect.

    Trout was on the run and leaped over the wall.

    Davis had time to prepare for his catch, and used the wall as a springboard.

    At any rate, they were both phenomenal catches.

    Gary Matthews Jr had a great one too, I believe in 2006, as part of the Texas Rangers. If anyone wants to link that one.

    Trout was on a dead run and jumped over about a 7 foot wall, this wall was much higher and Raja Davis is a smurf. He had to jump up the wall that was so amazing.

    Not a home run robbery but the catch griffey made in the kingdome running full speed into the wall was the best of all time.

    IMHO

    I can't believe He didn't shatter his ankle.

    Mike Trout is the best baseball player ever. He will go down as the best ever. It will not even be close.

    5 foot 9 davis climbed up a ten foot wall. It'd be hard enough getting ur footing and getting up over 10 feet in the air and to time it perfectly because he was waiting there it is amazing.

    IMO, it is harder to sit there under it and time up the jump then a dead full on sprint leap for ball

    Looked like a routine off the wall catch to me. Isn't to reach ten feet when using the wall to climb higher. Especially with spikes on cloth. Nice play though.

    I take back my previous statement.

    Best catch was kenny lofton robbing I believe bj surhoff of a HR at jacobs field (progressive field?)

    Ball cleared the wall by a good 3-4 ft.

    I cannot find a vid of this catch and am pissed.

    Rajai definitely the best catch ever, Mays was a great play too though bigger game and also a great throw that was a huge ballpark if Mays did not recover to make the throw the runner on 2nd would of been able to tag and score.

    BigDeem...just so you know, the fence at the Rogers Center is 12 feet high.
    Better then Trout's catch without question....hardly even a debate.

    Willie Mays catch is by far the most overrated catch ever.

    Very hard to come to a consensus on GOAT. Too many variables like player size, speed they were going, whether or not it was a HR ball, and meaningfulness of the game itself.

    I still think my favourite catch of all time was David Wright's barehanded catch running backwards off a broken bat infield blooper: http://sports.wally.tv/play?id=268610

    Check that 10 feet high....I was listening to the game on the radio and they said it was 10 feet high numerous times. It is that high because of turf and they wanted to limit Ground rule doubles.

    Announcers were over the moon saying it was the second best catch ever at the rodgers centre, apparently Ken griffey made a similar catch. Thanks for posting it up didn't seem that special.

    LOL at the braves player that runs past is teammate in the Jays world series video.
