Major League Baseball may have already witnessed its 'Catch of the Year' winner after Eli White went airborne for the Texas Rangers on Monday.
The 6'3" utility had little choice but to take flight in order to prevent Tampa Bay Rays star Ji-man Choi from scoring the first points of their series. It proved a worthy sacrifice, too, as the Rangers went on to triumph 9-5 at Globe Life Field.
Choi, 31, surely felt the home run was his after launching a cannon to left-centre field with team-mates on first and second bases. But a scrambling White got back in time to somehow mitt the ball, sending commentators and the 25,600 spectators into raptures.
