So he made the highlight reel, but for the wrong reason.

LOL....that was funny......yeah, I had meant that he made the catch but dropped it when he took the header into the wall. Reminds me of when Aaron Rowand made an over the shoulder catch as his face went into the fencing in center field at Cititzens Bank Park in Philly 3 years ago. He broke his nose and became kinda like a folk hero out here in Philly after that catch. The difference between the two is that Rowand held on to the ball.

I applaud the effort, you don't see that kind of hustle too much these days.
