With all of the cameras and different angles that TV provide you during a game these days you usually only take notice of a channel not giving you a replay rather than when they actually do give you a good view of a play. Well this past Friday's shot of Kevin Youklis' ball spinning on top of the fence after Johnny Damon crashed into the wall was one of those rare occasions where you marvel at outstanding replay work. Here is the play and an interview with the producer in the NY Post....

"Frank Lombardo, left field camera; the ball was hit right at him. He was upset because he thought he lost the ball on us. But we had it. There it was, just sitting on top of the fence.

"Keith Desantis gave us that super slo-mo of it. He shoots up the third base line from behind home plate. Vinnie Scaffidi on the high, first base camera; he had Damon and the ball in the shot the whole time, and then he had that fan pointing to it as it fell off the wall."

And with all that, YES was able to show that Damon was hurt and then provide a close-up of Youkilis standing on third, looking out toward left, appearing mystified as to what had just gone on out there.

From YES's booth, Al Leiter, as he watched what Moore's guys had captured, simply said, "Never seen anything like that." Michael Kay added all that was left to say: "That's unbelievable." Both spoke softly, as if they were still more amazed than excited.
