Some things can stand the test of time. Fortunately, for fans we’ve been treated to two of the best fielding plays for not only this year, but possibly Chicago Cubs baseball history .
Last Wednesday, Chicago Cubs center fielder Marlon Byrd (below) made every highlight reel with his no-look circus catch. It may not be the top catch by a Cub outfielder in recent memories, but it’s a close second to Reed Johnson’s amazing stab in 2008. Coincidentally, both catches came against the Washington Nationals.
“It was all luck,” Byrd said afterwards. “It was one of those last-minute, sun-is-in-your-eyes (situations). I try to get to a position and stick your glove out. If you get a ‘W’ it’d be a lot better.”
The Cubs lost to the Nationals that game, 3-2.
