I'm not sure how it gets any better than that. Attempting to catch a ball directly over the head is already the toughest catch to make, but Ankiel throws the all-out dive, on the warning track, into the mix. I'm no sport psychologist, but something's amiss when a guy can make that play, but can't throw a fastball for a strike if his life -- or simply a playoff game -- depends on it.
