Greatest Clutch Catch in World Series History

[Giant Obsession]

Everyone runs to Mays' catch against the Indians in '54.

Or Sandy Amoros robbing Yogi Bear in Game 7 of the '55 Series.

Hardly ever mentioned is Joe Rudi climbing the wall in '72 to rob Denis Menke of the Reds in '72.

But for my money, and never mentioned is Paul O'Neill's grab in the 9th inning of Game 5 of the 1996 World Series against Atlanta.  Leading by 1 and Atlanta with 2 runners on if the O'Neill does not catch the deep drive Atlanta wins ad grabs the Series lead at 3 games to two.  Most amazing to me is the ball is past O'Neill, who was on on a dead run.

Sorry Obs.  But I'll stick with Willy's catch.  When he made it, there were men on first & second and his perfect throw from the deepest part of the Polo Grounds held the guy on second to just 3rd base.  That made his throw, IMO, the greatest.

The '69 Mets, Tommy Agee and Ron Swoboda's catches for me.

Myself, I will still go with Amaros's catch in '55.

Sorry GO, but May's catch makes O'Neill's look easy and I will also go with Ed, Ron Swoboda's catch was remarkable, especially if you followed those Mets and knew how bad a fielder Swoboda was.
