Catch of the Day

The new incredible catch highlight making the rounds is this gem by Edwin Baptiste of Morgan State.



But how does it compare to this classic by Tyrone Prothro of Alabama?





I'm excluding David Tyree from this argument because due to circumstance it's impossible to separate the importance from the degree of difficulty and I believe it would win in a landslide.

    Baptiste and here's why. He's horizontal with the ground and made a one handed grab. Protho you could argue, could use the defender's body as help to pin the ball. Baptiste's was a more impressive athletic catch. Protho's was terrific concentration and strength.
