This week's Challenge... I wanna see photos of "The Catch".
(No, they don't have to be of Joe Montana hitting Dwight Clark in the end zone, or Willie Mays in center field, whichever stands out for you as "the Catch" in sports history)
I want to see your best shots - perfectly timed - of the catch. The ball, the puck, the frisbee, the whatever. I have seen so many fantastic dives for the ball, jumps, glove saves, and so on around here that I'd like to compile a great library of them in one thread. Show me your best. Heck, if it's an incredible effort in a flat-out dive or leap that still has the ball in the frame, I'll go for that too. Let's try to get 100% forum participation in this one.
Me? Well, I can't say I'd ever win this challenge, but here's a few to get the ball rolling anyway...
Well, best I could do on short notice here anyway... let's see the better examples now!! Good luck everybody.
