Josh Donaldson makes unbelievable catch between tarp and a hard wall (VIDEO)


Some are already calling it the best catch of the 2013 MLB season.

And, after seeing the incredible grab pulled off by Oakland Athletics third baseman Josh Donaldson in the top of the sixth inning of Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers, you might have to agree.



With one out and a runner at first, Rangers left fielder David Murphy lifted a high pop fly that drifted toward the third base seats. Donaldson wasn't about to let the stands—or the tarp laying in his path—stop him from chasing down the ball and making the catch


Donaldson makes the incredible play in foul territory, disappearing behind the tarp and in front of the left field wall.

Amazing concentration by Donaldson.

Puig makes incredible catch off wall at Wrigley Field (VIDEO)

Has anyone made so many ridiculous catches in such a short span of time as Yasiel Puig? It seems like the Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right fielder tacks one or two grabs onto his highlight reel every game.

Even when the catch doesn't count as an out, Puig makes it interesting — like this one at Wrigley Field.




After initially ruling this catch an out, the umpires conferred and made the right call. The rules state a fielder must catch th e ball "in flight" for the play to be an out, and a ball deflected off the wall is not considered "in flight."

But this is still one sensational play. The reflexes, vision and hand-eye coordination to make the grab are unbelievable. And, at least the fan in the bamboo sedge hat called it an out.

The San Francisco Giants leftfielder also left a little mark on the left field wall of AT&T Park — after robbing the New York Mets' Andrew Brown of hit in the second-inning with this spectacular catch.
