Two amazing catches tonight, and what a professional/gentleman. Reyes could learn some character and humility from this guy.

Don't forget, the first amazing catch was because he broke in on the ball and had to make the miraculous catch to avoid looking like an oaf.

Yes he admitted as much, but that's a tough play nonetheless when hit right at you--most instinctively take that step in.

Just ask Austin Jackson, who failed to do the same on Jeter's double over the center fielder's head.

Plus the better catch was the one in left center later on.

But oaf is a great word!
