Washington Nationals center fielder Nyjer Morgan just made one of the greatest catches I've every seen either in person, on live television or on videotape. He raced to the wall in center and made a tremendous leap to rob Corey Patterson of a home run in the third inning.
The slow motion replay was even more impressive because it basically shows him at the top of a huge vertical leap snatching the ball away from a fan who was reaching over the railing. When he landed, Patterson held his helmet up in a sincere salute from one outfielder to another.
Tough break for the Orioles, but but a big thrill for the big interleague crowd.
