What Was the Best Baseball Play of All Time?
The best baseball play of all time is a matter of opinion, but there are a few that stand out as truly exceptional.
One of the most famous is Derek Jeter's "The Flip" in Game 4 of the 2001 American League Division Series. With the bases loaded and two outs, Jeter fielded a ground ball and flipped it to shortstop Alfonso Soriano, who relayed it to first baseman Tino Martinez for the final out.
Another great play is Willie Mays' over-the-shoulder catch in Game 1 of the 1954 World Series. With Vic Wertz at bat, Mays ran back to the warning track and made a leaping catch over his shoulder, robbing Wertz of a home run.
Finally, there is Kirby Puckett's home run in Game 6 of the 1991 World Series. With the Twins down 3-2 in the bottom of the 11th inning, Puckett hit a walk-off home run to win the game and the championship.
