Roger Bernadina Catch Video: Watch Bernadina’s Amazing Robbery of Mike Stanton

“Unbelievable!”

That is the only word to describe Roger Bernadina‘s catch in the fifth inning last night against the Florida Marlins.

Tied 4-4 in the top of the fifth, Florida’s Mike Stanton drives a ball deep into center field only to see the Washington outfielder take flight with his glove outstretched.

Bernadina snags the ball at the top of his glove like a “snow cone” and holds on through the landing.

As this catch is going on, the only thing I can think of is Matthew McConaughey being flown by “angels” to make a catch in the movie Angels in the Outfield.

Bernadina made this play all by himself.

Unfortunately, the Nationals couldn’t hold onto the game the way Bernadina held onto the ball.

Washington lost 6-5 in extra innings in what was their third straight extra innings ball game.

It’ll be tough for Bernadina to top that catch for the rest of the season, but he’ll get the opportunity again today against the Marlins.

The Nationals hope the next time one of their players makes a “catch of the season” type play, they can actually do so in a game that they win.

With not a lot to be excited about, this could easily be their highlight of the year until Stephen Strasburg finds his way back to the mound.

Milton Bradley and the 25 Biggest Jerks in MLB History

While baseball as a sport has the least amount of physical contact amongst players, it seems to spawn some of the worst attitudes in all of sports.

Football, basketball, soccer and hockey have their fair share of jerk players, but because they can take it out on each other with such force as a helmet-to-helmet hit, swift elbow to the ribs or face, a dirty slide tackle, or a check from behind followed by dropping the gloves; baseball players seem to be pent up with the most rage of them all.

Breaking bats, charging the mound, throwing punches and destroying all objects in a dugout or clubhouse seem to be a few of the favorites on the field.

Off the field, baseball players are no picnic either.

Abrasive, bullying and generally uncomfortable to be around, these select players and managers are some of the worst of the worst.

Ironically enough, a lot of the “jerkiest” players are actually pretty good.

Here are the 25 biggest jerks in MLB history.
