Try to get them all.
Have fun with it.

Three out of five and you got the tough one in Posey. :D
The other two are only tough in that it is vague and probably describes more than one player, and of course, there's been more than one 'the catch'.

6. Lincecum
12.
15.
18. Pujols
20. Posey

Thanks.

I was afraid that when a Boston fan didn't get Dempster that it was too 'out there'. :D

Rock band has to be a player whose name is like a band name since all the musicians (other then Arroyo) have been mentioned. Carlos Santana is more of an artist and not really rock. Kyle Seager would work but I don't exactly relate him to Bob minus the a, Corey Hart would need the requisite sunglasses reference, Oscar Taveras is too esoteric.

Hmm....

If Mays is a hint, that implies over the shoulder basket catch with his back turned which could be Edmonds but the criteria is current player.

It is Arroyo for rock star. Too vague, my bad.

That leaves 'the catch'.
It is not an over the shoulder, back to the field catch.
But, for a time, probably more than a year, it was simply referred to as 'the catch'.
And you're right, the player is still current.

this whole catch thing is beating me up. I can recall a hand few of really good ones,and do recall hearing one simply referred to as the catch but cant place it. sam fuld had a few nice ones. Dewane wise I think to save a no hitter,If memory serves correctly wasnt there a pretty amazing catch in matt cains no-no also? Trout robbing a hr?

He said current and in Dan's last reply, a major hint about it being called that for over a year which dates it as being at least a year ago, likely more or it would be fresher.

Bet it's Jeter.

DeWayne Wise is correct!
That catch was 'the catch' for almost a year and still is in the Chicago area.
Good job!
