Pittsburgh Pirates’ Travis Snider made what could be considered the best catch of the year off a bomb from New York Mets’ Mike Baxter Thursday afternoon.
He scaled the wall, Spiderman-style, to get Baxter out and rob the Mets of what would have been a game-tying homer.
Twitter erupted with accolades shortly from awe-struck baseball fans shortly after.
Wait till you see the Spidermanish catch by Travis Snider, robbing a Mets home run. Gotta be one of the five MLB plays of the year.

Yeah. RT @sternbergh: Okay, I was wrong: Travis Snider’s catch is as good as advertised. Maybe better: trunc.it/led5i

Travis Snider… That was a ridiculous catch! Always wanted to rob someone of a home run, but that’s just nasty!
