Make your voice heard and vote for the best fan catch of the year
Fan catches are unequivocally awesome. I mean, what's not cool about the amateurs in the seats making expert-level snags on foul balls -- or, if they should be so lucky, monster dingers? Where opinions diverge, however, is what makes the best kind of fan catch: Glove? Bare hand? An untraditional baseball receptacle? And should you be nonchalant about it or lose your dang mind?
These are the questions that strike at the very heart of what it means to be a baseball fan. Now, it's time to make your voice heard with today's category in the Esurance MLB Awards: Best Fan Catch. Watch the nominees below and cast your vote here by 2 p.m. ET on Nov. 11.
