Wish he was still on the Cubs. When anyone mentions a play at home,I have to mention Jimmy Qualls:

Just before Qualls left for the service, on June 13, he enjoyed one of his highlights. At Crosley Field in Cincinnati, his double sparked a game-winning six-run rally in the 10th inning. After Paul Popovich singled, Reds catcher Pat Corrales had the plate blocked -- but "'I flipped right over him,' explained Qualls. 'I missed the plate a body length and started scrambling back. Corrales was also scrambling back from the opposite end -- but I touched the plate first.'"8 Reds manager Dave Bristol was ejected after arguing over the play. Today Jim thinks that the Chicago reporters put Durocher on the spot after the game and helped keep him in the club's plans.
He was famous for that summersalt over home and breaking Tom Seaver's perfect game in the 9th inning at Shea.
