Josh Reddick makes amazing Spiderman catch

Josh Reddick initially looked like he lost Toronto Blue Jays Travis Snider's long fly ball— after he turned the wrong way— but then the Oakland A's outfielder scaled the bullpen fence and robbed Snider of a home run with an amazing Spiderman catch.

The superhero grab was even more spectacular because Reddick actually scaled the chain link fence, hung  on by one hand and waited for the ball to come to him.

Even the A's starting pitcher, A.J. Griffen, stood on the mound and watched in stunned belief as a spider robbed a Snider.



The A's colors make Reddick look more like The Green Goblin than Peter Parker's alter ego, but the A's  outfielder had his Spidey senses tingling last night.

The A's went on to destroy the Jays in a 16-0 laugher.  Mary Jane would be so proud.

After the game, Reddick was asked if he was Spiderman.

"Why yes, I am part spider," he replied.
