Looks like these catches are based on the importance of the game it happened. So this list is bullshit. That catch Reed Johnson made for the Cubs in CF a few years back is one of the best I have seen.

The one where he had to lay out because he took an awful route to the ball when an average centerfielder would have caught it flat-footed?? Yeah that was great.

Some of the catches are just God awful. One of them a guy didn't leave his feet, caught the ball two feet from the wall and ran into it. I think it's number 52.

Watching the truly great catches are awesome. The Griffey grabs, Hunter and Ichiro. I even think it's ridiculous that Wise's catch is number 9.

How soon til pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training?

If you want to talk about a Cubs snub on that list, the Todd Hollandsworth faceplant in LA is better than Reed Gherig's catch.
