Todd Hollandsworth leaping catch

Did anybody happen to see Chicago Cubs Todd Hollandsworth's jumping catch last night (Sunday, June 13)? He totally faceplanted himself into Angels Stadium outfield wall. It looked like he crushed his Oakley sunglasses. That dude is so early 90's with his Oakley's and long hair. I bet he's even got a hypercolor shirt underneath his uniform. He was even on the 1989 Cubs!

If anyone has a .mpeg, .wmv, .avi or any other movie file of that catch I'd love to have a copy. I wanna replay him smashing into the wall over and over again.

That is TOO Funny! I thought EXACTLY same thing about poor "Slammin'" Todd ... Mr 90's ... he is stuck in 1989, that was the height of Oakley-mania.

I wouldn't be surprised if he wore a braided belt with his uniform.

Although i have to say for all the above reasons he's one of my favorite cubs.

Todd is also one of my favorite Cubbies, even if he does french-cuff his pants ... so late 80's

I think Hollandsworth should replace "Hollandsworth" on the back of his jersey with "TradeSosa".

I knew the moment this comment arrived in my email box that it was from you, Mr. Unlikelymoose. Your Trade Sosa baseball card was on my Top 10 Most Desireable List of last year, but you Maldres spend too much time thinking and not enough time selling ... even to people with their wallets wide open ... I guess that's why Laura won the eBay bet ... eh?

;P
