It happened in the bottom of the fourth inning as Chicago White Sox batter Alexei Ramirez hit a hard line drive which would have went into the third base stands, and likely would have hit somebody, had Neshek not leaped up and snatched it out of the air with his glove. Neshek landed on his rear end but was perfectly fine.
Neshek happens to be the brother of Oakland A's relief pitcher (and former Twin) Pat Neshek, who couldn't believe that his brother made one of ESPN's top plays. Looks like Paul might be good enough to play in the major leagues as well.
