even more amazing still, is the face that 5 days after he did that, he deflected another one to the shortstop who proceeded to toss to 1st for the third out. http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/media/video.js...
What's even more amazing is that's not the first time he's done that. Once before, he stopped one just the same with his ankle instead of his calf. I heard on the news that he actually practices that "move", but I'm guessing that's the start of an urban legend of sorts.
