For the second straight year, a defensive miscue has ended the New York Yankees ' postseason. Last year, it was Aaron Judge, and this year it's Jazz Chisholm Jr.

On Sept. 29, 1954, the New York Giants met Cleveland in the World Series. Mays’ catch boosted the Giants to the title.

One batter later, Anthony Volpe tried to get a force out at third base but spiked a ball to Jazz Chisholm Jr. for another error. Gerrit Cole recovered with back-to-back strikeouts, but the Dodgers quickly poured on a game-tying five runs after what should have been the fourth out of the inning.

The current record is 972 pairs, set eight years ago in Illinois. On its face, breaking the Guinness World Record for the largest game of catch sounds simple: Gather a couple thousand people, pair them up and ask them to toss baseballs back and forth for five minutes. Doing it, however, is anything but easy.

Jack Flaherty won the World Series with the Dodgers in 2024. In 2025, the Detroit Tigers are counting on him to keep their World Series hopes alive.
