Phillies Player Honors Boston Victims, Makes Most Incredible Catch Of The Year
Sports1 min read

Philadelphia Phillies centerfielder Ben Revere paid a small tribute to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings last night.

Before the game against the Reds, he wrote "PRAY for Boston" on a piece of tape and stuck it to his glove.

"Even when I play I was still think [sic] about the ppl in Boston. God bless!!" he tweeted.

Then, he went out and made one of the most spectacular catches you will ever see.

Todd Frazier of the Reds looked to have an extra-base hit in the gap, but Revere tracked it down before the warning track and dove to make the catch. He also had the presence of mind to get up and throw the ball to first base for the double play.

It's impossible to describe how difficult it is to dive and make a catch that's over your head like this. Here's the GIF that Crashburn Alley tweeted out:
