Giants' Web Gems
For those who haven't noticed, ESPN has been running an "All-Time Web Gems" for each team on Baseball Tonight and Sportscenter, and they're doing the Giants tonight.
Any ideas for the Top 3 in Giants' history?
I'm saying:
- Willie Mays in the '54 Series.
- Mays climbs over Bobby Bonds and fence to make catch.
- Kevin Mitchell's bare handed grab of flyball (for sheer kitsch factor).

I have to say for a diving catch...
But other than that, put a camera on Omar, he'll give you some plays.

Re: Giants' Web Gems
Not really a spectacular play, but by SportsCenter's web-gem criteria it certainly qualifies.
To add to the kitsch-gems I'm sure they can find footage of pitchers being blown off the mound at the Stick.

I hate to say it...
I still believe, however, that dropping a can of corn in the playoffs that cost the team a win and likely the series disqualifies Cruz from significant web gem status and that he must return the gold glove he earned that season.
