Jeff Salazar



The Diamondbacks recently called up Jeff Salazar and he came through with one of the greatest catches to take away a homerun I have ever seen. I saw it live, on TV, and almost as impressive was how cool he was about it, cooler than when Ken Griffey Jr. made his great catch against the Yankees (I believe).

He had to climb up the wall to reach over into the bullpen and pull it back but the wall was just netting which increased the degree of difficulty.

The video appears to be from a cellphone and just captures the replay on the jumbotron. I will keep looking for a better video and replace this one if possible.
