Re: *KC Royals Baseball Season Of Victory Thread*
Ryan LaFebvre said Hunter's catch put Granderson's to shame, and Ryan LaFebvre knows infinitely more about baseball than JTKSU. Fact.

The toughest of internet guys.
My guess would be Granderson caught the ball at a higher point b/c he was almost stopped and timed his jump at the base of the wall.

Hunter was on a dead sprint and had to jump horizontal as well as up which is how he caught the ball after it had left the stadium.

True on both accounts.  Plus, Torii is a pretty damn tall dude so it looked more effortless on his part.

He sure does provide an unbiased viewpoint, doesn't he?

*edit-  To take a step farther, I am both a Royals fan and a huge Torii Hunter fan.  And I am willing to admit that even though Torii's catch was a very nice one, Granderson's catch flat out amazed me.  Don't let the powder blue kool-aid affect your judgment.

Why would he be biased toward Torii Hunter over Curtis Granderson?

Because that catch ultimately cost the Royals a game.  Oh, and because he was the Twin's broadcaster before moving over to the Royals after Torii's second season in Minnesota.

Re: *KC Royals Baseball Season Of Victory Thread*
Both are good....just a pissing contest now. Hunter said it was his 2nd best catch ever FWIW.

Both are good catches but neither were amazing and Toriis catch was better than Grandersons IMHO.

When I used your link, I got an error message.  Where you talking about Gary Matthew's catch?  Yeah, that puts the other two catches to shame.  That is, honestly, one of the most amazing plays I have ever seen.  Put it right up there with Mays and Edmonds.  Maybe even better, considering it was basically the same over the head catch, but he also jumped up a fence while doing it.

That would very likely mark the end of his big league hopes.
