Abstract

The article commends Cleveland Indians' baseball center fielder Larry Doby for his remarkable catch in a game against the Washington Senators at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio on July 30, 1954. The way how Doby managed to catch the ball from the moment he took off, to the time second-base umpire Joe Flaherty ruled it caught is described. The crowd paid him a standing ovation as he started to make his way to the Indians dugout.
