I've been going to games since August 8, 1973....and on August 22, 2004, finally, a foul ball came my way. I had to reach for it, and it deflected off the tip of my right index finger. Shoot, if I was only 4 inches taller!

No contest

The hands down winner is Dick Stuart aka "Dr Strangeglove" aka "Stonefingers" aka "The Potted Plant"

Stuart was about the worst fielder at any position I can recall. I have no range, can't throw and mediocre reflexes (and am over 50) and even today I am better defensively than he was in his prime

Has to be Dr. StoneGlove, a name he earned on merit.
