re: 2000 CWS WrIght's catch

No, this was the catch from that game.

Two out bases loaded shot down the third base line, but Barbier caught it and gunned down the batter at first by a fraction of a second.

Stanford would have blown the game open if not for that play. But it ended the sixth so nobody remembers it.

I remember Barbier could have tried to tag third or go for the throw for that final out. Many players may have hesitated a split second deciding which to go to.

Barbier went straight for the long throw and gunned it on the money.

I love that video. Have watched it several times over the last two years with my 9yo that plays some third.
