Austin Jackson’s Catch Isn’t From Planet Earth
Last night was one of the best nights in baseball we’ve seen thus far in 2017. It legit had everything including many major moments between Boston-Cleveland who always seem to play thrillers. It’s amazing that a pitching matchup with Chris Sale and Carlos Carrasco would have 22 runs in it. While Boston got the last laugh with a Christian Vasquez walk-off, Indians center fielder Austin Jackson made one of the best catches you’ll ever see to rob Hanley Ramirez of a home run.
The type of catch you'll tell your grandchildren about.

Like how in the hell does that happen? We saw one of the best defensive centerfielders Torii Hunter nearly achieve what Jackson did out there, but he did not get David Ortiz’s grand slam which launched their World Series run. I do think Jackson was the more impressive than Hunter’s attempt though. I know it’s obvious since Indians outfielder caught the ball, yet he jumped in the fucking air to make the catch. Hell, he nearly cleared the wall on the jump.
