Jung Hoo Lee might want to get down on his knees and thank … his knees.
The San Francisco Giants outfielder ran toward the wall at Oracle Park to track down a deep fly during Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays ― but the ball rolled off his glove and down his leg before he secured the ball between his knees.
“Catch of the decade,” broadcaster Duane Kuiper said.
“Haven’t seen that before,” Giants manager Bob Melvin added after the game, per MLB.com.
Lee had a different take.
“It was a funny catch, for sure,” he said through an interpreter, per CNN.
The Rays’ Yandy Diaz, who hit the fourth-inning drive, told MLB.com he thought he had a double “but I had the bad luck that he caught the ball. I think he’s the only player who’s ever done that. It was a very weird play.”
