Not sure how any of the other plays mentioned are reminiscent...
That catch was not only athletically and visually similar, it was also a similar situation in which the play happened and you think "OMG, I can't believe that just happened...we are destined to win this thing"....and then the team loses. Of course one was Game 7 of the NLCS and the other was a meaningless game in November... haha
OBJ's catch left me looking in disbelief. Like, did I just see that? How is that physically possible? A catch by an OF to rob a HR in a big moment is special, but you see catches like that all the time. We will never witness a catch like OBJ's again. That was unhumanlike.

but in a different way. I guess that's the only sports play that I've ever witnessed that comes close. Physically, OBJ's catch just seems impossible to me. I was looking at the screen thinking...did I just see that?

Here's one sort of similar to Beckham's.
That was actually the year before, in 1997, I believe. Unbelievable movement on that ball.
I just posted a catch like it.
