The One

There have been some awesome catches in Major League Baseball this year, but none of them even come close to what just happened in Japan. Masato Akamatsu of the Hiroshima Carp is being called "the Japanese Spider-Man" for the outstanding wall-climbing catch he made last week to save a home run, and the internet is eating it up.

Japanese Spider-Man's video has been reposted all over YouTube, with the most popular version grabbing over 300,000 views. Ever wonder what it would be like if Peter Parker played center field? Pretty much exactly like this. Can we sign this guy up for a Major League team, please?
