Wadda catch!!



I have been meaning to blog this, but got caught up at work and didn't get around to it. Okay, it's Friday now (PTL) and I actually have some "not-anything-pressing-to-do" time.

Alright, so you see the photo of Andruw Jones of the Atlanta Braves here, right? Well, it's not the photo I wanted to post but I could not find the one I was looking for. The other night ... um, I think it was Wednesday night ... the Braves were playing the Giants. In the 8th inning, Ray Durham got some good wood on a Chad Paronto special (which means that it was right down Broadway when it wasn't SUPPOSED to be) and everyone just KNEW the ball would find the stands. I even turned to my husband and said, "Oh hell, there it goes." Andruw Jones had other plans ... the guy jumps up on the outfield wall and caught the ball as it was leaving the field!!! If anyone has watched Andruw play, this description comes as no surprise. I mean, geez ... the dude has won 8 Gold Gloves!!!

I had to blog this because it is one of those moments ... you know, you remember where you were when it happened ... the assassination of JFK ... events like that (okay, so I exagerrated). Well, I'll ALWAYS remember this amazing catch. Wadda gamer ...
