Sounds similar to a famous play by Ozzie Smith for the San Diego Padres 
on April 20, 1978. He was in mid-air while diving after a ground ball 
hit to his left. The ball took a bad hop and suddenly was headed over 
Ozzie's hip instead of going toward his outstretched left hand. He 
reached up and grabbed the ball with his right hand, bounced up off the 
ground and threw the runner out at first.
