Study: How to catch a fly ball? Keep an eye on it
[ Tue, 26 Jan 2010 16:29:11 GMT ]

In this Sept. 29, 1954 photo, New York Giants center fielder Willie Mays, running at top speed with his back to the plate, gets under a 450-foot blast off the bat of Cleveland Indians first baseman Vic Wertz to pull the ball down in front of the bleachers wall in the eighth inning of Game 1 of the World Series at the Polo Grounds in New York. In making the miraculous catch with two runners on base, Mays came within a step of crashing into the wall. The Giants won 5-2. A new study finds the way that baseball outfielders catch fly balls is simple: by keeping their eyes on the ball.
