The batter really latched onto one, and sent it into left-field - except it went too far left and into foul territory. Left outfielder, Jason Bay, gets across and (leaning about a metre over the fence) takes the catch.
50 metres away, pitcher Brad Penny (who now has one less batter to get out, thanks to this neat piece of fielding) points to Bay and nods - in a way that says "thanks for helping me out there, buddy".Of course, the fielder already knows he's done great work, but it never hurts to have that acknowledged by someone else. There's a saying that 'Gratitude not expressed is like a present that is never unwrapped'.
