The San Francisco giants may have fallen from the race for the crown of the West Division of the National League, but Jung Hoo Lee put a smile on the faces of the fans during a game against the Rays of Tampa Bay.
Lee was in the central garden when she tracked a ball hit by Yandy Díaz. The ball headed towards the warning crack in the right center when Lee slipped to try to immerse. The ball seemed to caress the glove and between his legs.

Somehow, Lee could hold on to the ball in the uncomfortable position for the exit.
“I don’t care what someone says. That is the capture of the decade. No of the year, of the day, or of the week, not from the home of origin. The decade,” said the commentator of the NBC area Sports Bay, Duane Kuiper.
Kuiper’s partner, Mike Krukow, agreed.
San Francisco won the game, 7-1, and Lee’s game was fashionable in the world of baseball.
“The wind was quite heavy, and the ball was arriving a lot, so I went through the slide,” journalists told journalists through an interpreter after the game, according to MLB.com. “I caught it, but I felt that I was going under my body, starting from the chest. It was a fun, safe capture.”

The giant manager, Bob Melvin, said he worried that Lee could have been injured in the work.
“I thought it simply fell,” he said. “I worried that I could have hurt something like his ankle. I was not really sure because he was depressed for a while. The repetition took time, but our people were talking about that and realized that he caught him among his knees. Pretty well. I have not seen that before.”

Lee is in his second season with the giants. He is hitting .260 with six home runs and 46 ranked races. It was 1 by 4 with a double in the victory over the Rays.
