Well, Major League Baseball might as well end its competition for Best Catch of the Year now.
In the fifth inning of Tuesday's Indians-Red Sox game at Fenway Park in Boston, Indians outfielder Austin Jackson flat-out robbed Hanley Ramirez of a sure home run. Jackson flipped over the wall and into the Red Sox bullpen, but he still managed to hold on to the ball for the out.
Enjoy this masterpiece.
There are no words to describe this catch.

Unfortunately for the Indians, Jackson's heroics weren't quite enough, as the Red Sox won on a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth.
