1954, game 1 of the World Series (Indians vs Giants):

“I had it the whole time,” Giants center fielder Willie Mays quipped after making his famous catch of a shot off the bat of Cleveland’s Vic Wertz. He probably did. Depending on whom you talk to, Wertz hit the ball between 450 feet and 450 miles in the cavernous Polo Grounds, with runners on first and second in the top of the eighth of a 2-2 game. Mays’ improbable over-the-shoulder catch saved two runs, and the Indians now had runners on first and third with one out. New York reliever Don Liddle had been brought in to face Wertz but now was being taken out of the game. “Well,” he said to incoming pitcher Marv Grissom, “I got my man.” Grissom squeezed out of the jam, and the Giants went on to sweep the Series.

I cannot believe that Gomes is only going to make $1 million next season while all of these guys who did not do jack are making way more. If I were him, I might try and renegotiate or holdout or something.

It's the strange way that some baseball contracts end up, depending on a player's draft status and previous level of production...I remember Ryan Howard came off that MVP year in 2006 and he was schedule to make like $580,000 or something like that...then he got paid and immediately went off a cliff :lol:
