Josh Donaldson leaped into the second row of the stands for a spectacular catch during Wednesday's Toronto Blue Jays game against Tampa Bay.
It happened in the top of the eighth as Rays batter David DeJesus hit a foul popup towards the third base stands. Donaldson had no fear as he leaped into the air and laid out for the grab. The play temporarily kept alive Marco Estrada's perfect game, although it ended as the next Rays batter reached base on an infield single.
Donaldson has made outstanding plays like this before, whether diving over a tarp to snag a foul ball or starting double plays from the seat of his pants. Gotta love players giving that kind of effort.
