Wise, from a relatively shallow position in center field, broke into a dead sprint to catch up with the ball. Just when it looked like he wasn't going to get there in time, Wise leaped and took away what likely would have been a home run. He stumbled to the ground and in the process lost control of the ball.
He secured it with his non-glove hand while falling, in a remarkable display of coordination and athleticism. Mark Buehrle raised his arms, grabbed his head and braced himself Thursday for a human pileup along the first-base line.
By By Mark Gonzales. Jul 23, at PM. Latest Chicago White Sox. MLB labor talks resume after a day gap, but there is little evidence of progress after bargaining lasts about an hour. In the top of the ninth inning Dewayne Wise entered the game as a defensive replacement in center field. On a count, Rays leadoff hitter Gabe Kapler crushed a ball that would've cleared the wall for a home run, but Wise leaped to make a spectacular catch. Considering the circumstances, one can argue that Wise's catch was one of the greatest and most timely plays of all-time.
