LAA @ TEX, July 7, 2008
Max blocks the plate for the out at home then somehow manages to recover and throw the runner out at third...

Wow

That was a sweet play. I bet its top play of the day on SC. That was a great throw from his knees to get the guy at third ;-D

That was a sweet play! I like how he gathered himself and threw a dart towards third before almost passing out/collapsing O:-)

I'd put that in my top-10 of the year at this point for sure, though I can't remember much other than Asdrubal's triple play...

Yeah, I was watching the Rangers game last night, and I simply couldn't believe it. They had zoomed in on Max, talking about how great it was that he had held the ball, and all of a sudden he's on his knees firing a bullet down to third. Wow.

The other play that sticks in my mind is this one by Longoria vs Boston on July 1st:

If this kid isn't voted ROY for his bat *and* his glove, somethin' ain't right.

My Vote. Although it's hard to argue against the other nominees so far.

Great stuff so far. After watching some of these other videos I'm not sure I'd give Rick Ankiel the top spot but I thought he's at least deserving of a mention. He has had some great catches too but both of those throws were just crazy.
