One of the more bizarre plays you will ever see in baseball. Yankee's outfielder John D. Damon appeared to make the catch at the wall. However, he actually tipped Kevin Youkilis' fly ball onto the top of the outfield wall at Yankee Stadium where it sat for a few seconds before rolling off the wall and back into the field of play.
Damon slammed into the fence and laid on the ground for a few moments before realizing the ball wasn't in his glove, but rather sitting on the warning track. The best part of the play is the fan on the other side of the wall yelling at Damon to get the ball while pointing at it.
Actually, I take that back. The best part of the play is Yankees' announcer Michael Kay yelling "HE MAKES THE PLAY!" and then seeing the ball fall onto the warning track a second later. You won't see that in the highlight but it was hilarious.
Cincinnati's own Kevin Youkilis turned it into a triple and Damon left the game.

Tune into another obnoxious episode of Sportscenter for the highlight and 40 mins. of analysis on the ramifications of this singular moment in baseball.

Way to fake an injury after a blown catch. The ball was completely in his glove. Fucking jackass.
