Ten years ago today, Reed Johnson had one of the best catches in a Cubs uniform.
On April 26, 2008, the Cubs outfielder made a spectacular diving catch off of Nationals' Felipe Lopez's liner to center field. Johnson had to run to his right in what felt like a mile to track down. He then dove for it on the warning track going head first into the wall. Remember this?
How he caught it? Not sure. And how he didn't get hurt? Don't know that either.
But a lot of members on the Cubs at the time raved about the catch (Len Kasper's call was also phenomenal), and joked that they're happy it didn't happen on W. Addison St.
"At Wrigley Field they might have had to call a timeout to find his head in the vines," manager Lou Piniella said after that game.
There have been some outstanding catches since that catch in 2008. Jason Heyward's diving grab in San Francisco, Javier Baez's catch against the Miami Marlins where he dove into the crowd, Anthony Rizzo's tarp catches. There are a handful of them.
But where does this one rank?
