Willie Stargell was at the plate and I want to say Sutcliffe was pitching (can that be right?). Anyway, the pitch came WAY inside and high, Stargell ducked down from his crouch to have the ball hit off his bat and go sailing into the stands behind him. The funny thing was, from the angle of the camera and pitcher you couldn't see the bat and the ball looked like it hit him square in the ass and rocketed out of site. Sutcliffe started cracking up on the mound...he walked a fewe steps towards the plate to let Willie know what it looked like, and he started laughing too. It was so good that Sut had to step of the rubber to compose himself and just when he did, Stargell had to step out of the box. As good as the whole scene was, it was even better that Harry was calling the game, and he pretty much lost it too.
EDIT: I'm looking into this more, just realized it couldn't have been Sutcliffe.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
i didn't see your edit at first, but yeah, it couldn't have been sutcliffe.
shawon dunston, one of my all time favorite players, made an unbelievable basket catch on a fairly deep pop up to left against the mets. he doubled off the runner at first to seal the victory against the mets in 1989. i'll never forget the way he pumped his fist. most people do it in an upward motion or a stright ahead motion, but he did it downward. years later i made a diving catch in leftfield for my softball team and when i jumped up, i pumped my fist in the exact same way.

A dive? Maybe a flop or a stumble, I just can't see you executing a dive, maybe you tripped?

dude, a dive. you pee pee sniffs think i'm a big ol' fatboy that can barely tie his own shoes, but i can throw some leather. i'm not afraid to leave my feet, make a little thunder, rattle some windows. i'm not much of a hitter but i can field. think omar vizquel in rick rueschels body. without the range.
i am a big ol fatboy that can barely tie his shoes though. you weren't wrong about that.
