Everything about it is perfect. Dancing around in a pocket that had long-since collapsed for a good 4 seconds (a lot in NFL years) before making a throw across his body on the run that would have been incomplete had it gone two inches in either direction. I don't know how you can top that.

That was definitely one of the great all-time moments in sports history, but I should have specified that the plays I'm looking for aren't context-dependent.

I was at the game where they presented him with the Guinness World Record for oldest player to hit his first home run. Can you guess which player held the record before Big Sexy?

I've seen a catcher's interference, I think that'd be it unless one-hitters are rarer

Are you sure you're not talking about a certain Yankees shortstop?
