Top 10 Plays of the year

For anyone that's interested, SportsCenter just did their "Top 10 Defensive Plays of the Year" for the 2005 MLB season. Jack Wilson and Jose Castillo's amazing collaboration up the middle back in late July (you remember, the one where Jack dove up the middle and in one motion flipped it to Castillo who made it look like the ball didn't even stop to throw to Ward at first to complete the rare 6-4-3 ground out) clocked in at #3 behind Ichiro's wall-climbing antics in April and David Wright's mind bending, diving, bare handed catch of a blooper. I think I can live with that. Wright's play was without a doubt the play of the year, and Ichiro's catch was amazing too.
