1. That is simply one of the greatest catches ever by anyone

[NewJeffCT]

18. agreed

that is awesome on any level

[True Dough]

2. This is not hyperbole!

Even if that kid never has a major league career, he'll always have that highlight. I would show that to every friend and relative that comes to my house for the rest of my life. Probably just have it looping on the TV screen 24/7.

6. Too funny!

Imagine his friends in 10 years:

"Hey, let's go over to Billy's and play some video games."
"Nah, he'll just make us watch that f**king video again!"

[True Dough]

7. Exactly! Billy would become a pariah

Approaching random strangers: "Hey, did you ever see the 2017 Little League World Series? I got something I want to show you."

Pulls out phone. Plays clip.

"Can you believe that?"

17. Like Al Bundy and his 4 touchdown game

from Married with Children.

20. And singing Bruce Springsteens "Glory Days" lol

[Scurrilous]

3. Nice!

4. One of the greatest catches of all time and any level.

5. Jaw dropping!

8. There is one very UNHAPPY batter there. /nt

[Kingofalldems]

10. That was a home run for sure.

The kid literally caught it after it went over the fence.

19. I think you're right -- it's like the "plane of the goal line" in football

you have to catch the ball BEFORE it passes where the wall would have been if it were high enough.

This is from a junior college game -- the umpire ruled it a catch.

21. No you don't. As long as you catch it... Same as a foul ball.

Of course I COULD be wrong all these 65 years.

[Kingofalldems]

22. My bad, what I meant was it was surely a home run if the kid didn't catch it.

It crossed the plane and he caught it before it landed so it's an out.

[pangaia]

30. Whew.

[paleotn]

27. Theft!

He was robbed! He was robbed!

[SonofDonald]

9. Outstanding! N/T

[Ligyron]

11. Well, ya don't see that every day, do ya?

Nice snag kid.

[TNNurse]

12. Wonderful memory for him.

[oberliner]

13. Isn't that a home run?

Since he and the ball went over the fence?

[Kingofalldems]

15. It has to land.

[forgotmylogin]

25. There was an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond

where Frank reached over the fence from the seats and caught a fly ball before a player could catch it for an out, giving the away team a home run and a win they otherwise wouldn't have had. Death threats ensue.

[Ptah]

26. Football.

Death threats ensued because Frank kept the football.

[forgotmylogin]

33. Football's the elongated one? :)

I'm trying to figure out how it works with football... But I very well could be wrong...all the sitcoms start to blend!

[Brother Buzz]

31. Like a foul ball caught in foul territory, or even into the stands

If it's a caught ball, it's an out. That is, if at least one foot remains on or over the field at the time of the catch. Once it's caught, a player can take a nosedive into the stands, or in this case, over the outfield fence.

[exboyfil]

14. Can you clear the outfield fence

and still be viewed as a home run? It seems so. I remember Don Baylor diving head first into the stands once for a homerun (he did not catch it).

16. The announcer was so nonplused. I would have been screaming!

[left-of-center2012]

23. What team and what player?

Should this greatest Little League catch ever have counted?

Jack Regenye caught controversy along with the most impressive Junior League World Series catch in history.

The Kennett Square, Penn., center fielder, during a championship game against Chinese Taipei in Taylor, Mich., on Saturday afternoon, ranged back for a ball that appeared destined to clear the wall.

The ball did. And so did Regenye.

In a play that echoed Jackie Bradley Jr.’s, the Boston outfielder who last month robbed Aaron Judge by winding up on the other side of the fence, Regenye never stopped running, leapt, threw his gloved hand in the air and tumbled over the wall. When he rose from the other side, he coolly showed the ball in his mitt.

The original call was an out, until the Chinese Taipei manage argued the call, and the umpires conferenced. They overturned the ruling and let the batter round the bases — before overturning their own overturn, again ruling it an out.

Chinese Taipei, though, won 12-1 in five innings for its fifth straight title, according to the Detroit Free Press., in the international tournament for children ages 12-15.

24. Bet scouts are already looking at him.

As they should be.

[paleotn]

28. A thing of beauty!

As a former outfielder through high school, that was a heck of a catch at any level. Let me tell you, hitting that fence hurts like a MF'r. It's better to sail over it.

[burrowowl]

29. Greatest Ever!

[JNelson6563]

32. Wow! Incredible!

[Iggo]

34. That should be a home run.
