Cubs All- Time Web Gems?
Baseball Tonight started a new feature tonight where they are going to rate the top 3 Web Gems of every major league team. They started with the Phillies tonight.
Cub nominations off the top of my head from recent years:
- Sammy's diving catch at Pittsburgh 2004
- Augie Ojeda's dive and throw to first to save a run at 3B in LA in 2003 (Prior Start)
- Patterson in Cincy last year robbing someone of a home run (Maddux start)
- DLee in a home game stabbing a ground ball after it took a big hop and was headed for his face (Kerry Wood start?) in 2004 against LA
- One that I vaguely remember from 1989 (I think) was Shawon Dunston diving for a ball in short left field and then throwing doubling someone off of first base to end a game against the Mets?
This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of SB Nation, Bleed Cubbie Blue, or Al Yellon, editor-in-chief. FanPost opinions are, however, valued expressions of opinion by passionate and knowledgeable baseball fans.

This goes back a few years...
Of course, ESPN doesn't likely have video of this.

I've been lurking here since you opened this site (I occasionally comtacted you at your old one).
I finally decided to register because, when I saw the topic, I thought of the exact same play as you did.
IIRC, White finished sprawled full-length on the warning track, almost up against the vines. You're right. It was a phnnomenal play.

Top Plays Archive: good reference for recent plays
I like Glendon Rusch's (i know, i know) behind the back play on 09/24/04. Beautiful.

The Cubs
On 5-13-06 he came off the back of the mound caught the ball over his shoulder, twirled and threw to first for the out. Pretty nifty play. I wish I could remember his name. He may have won a Gold Glove or two.
