POLL: Greatest Angels Catch of All-Time....

[LAA Road Tripper]

What's unique to Edmond's catch and why I believe it's the greatest ever is that I've never seen a player make a full dive parallel to the ground 100% directly opposite of home plate and come up with the ball.

This poll is racist. You're kidding me that you have no Pettis or White here? Pettis was a brinks armored truck in CF. Jesus.

He'll even Freddie Lynn had some great plays in his short stay here.

This was the best catch by any Angel:

I voted for Edmonds because he had is back turned and it was just like May's

[Taylor]

I voted for Edmonds. But no love for Erstad's catch? From what I remember, that one was unreal.

[DW711]

I have yet to see a better catch than Edmonds'.

 

GMJ...maybe.

[Tank]

It's hard to tell just how great a catch this was because Trouts big fat body is in the way.

[seenoevil]

I think Edmonds is the greatest catch of all time

[Angel_Irish]

Why is Erstad for the final out of game seven of the World Series not an option. That was the greatest catch in Angels baseball.

[Ray McKigney]

Bourjos' catch had such a high degree of difficulty it's unbelievable. Full speed, over the wall, hits the wall first, hangs up until the ball gets there. Trout's looked prettier and Edmonds' was incredible too, but Bourjos' catch was on another level. That being said, I voted for Trout because of his boyish charm.

GMJ...maybe.

That was surely the most expensive catch in Angels history.

The discussion isn't about sentimental value and "impact". It's about how impressive the actual catch itself was from an athletic standpoint.

The discussion isn't about sentimental value and "impact". It's about how impressive the actual catch itself was from an athletic standpoint.

Then the question should be what was the most athletically impressive catch not the greatest catch. Semantics is everything.

Where's GA's sliding catch down the LF line in Game 3 of the 2002 ALDS. First, anyone who closely followed GA knew the dude never "got after" a ball in the outfield. Thus the nickname Cadillac GA. And after he made the catch my buddies and I who were watching the game knew this team was destined to beat the Yankees.

Cant find any Devon White or Gary Pettis catches, I'm sure they had a few spectacular catches going unnotice

Devon White and Gary Pettis had some nice catches, but to my recollection none of them were as memorable as the ones listed in this poll. 

 

I was a big Pettis and White fan too and watched most if not all the games on tv during their years.

Catching/drafting Mike Trout -- is there honestly another answer. He is the catch of a century.
