Who had the more spectacular Tropicana Field catch: Corey Dickerson or this Rays ballboy?

Fantastic catches are coming from all directions Thursday afternoon in the Royals-Rays game. Among that flurry of defense has emerged a battle of defensive one-upsmanship in left field.
In the top of the first inning, Corey Dickerson retreated on what appeared to be a home run off the bat of Eric Hosmer. Instead, thanks to Dickerson's efforts -- and the short wall in the left-field corner -- that possible home run became a spectacular leaping out.

Then, in the top of the second inning, Salvador Perez lined a ball into foul territory down the left-field line. Recognizing that no play would be made on the ball, a Rays ballboy took it upon himself to emulate Dickerson's leaping ability.

Both were undoubtedly great catches and tremendous feats of athletic prowess, but the time has come to pick sides.
