On this day in 1954, Willie Mays makes the greatest catch ever! Ball hit by a Cleveland Indians player...

 

That became known as the "basket catch". Today, major league outfielders are expected to make that catch. I remember watching another great outfielder, Roberto Clemente, that also made some astounding catches. There have been many great outfield catches in major league baseball. Maybe YouTube has a compilation of great catches.
