When Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo made his climb-the-tarp, step-on-the-brick-wall, balance-on-top-of-the-seat, fall-into-the-crowd catch, Twitter damn near broke.
It used to take a day or two for a sports writer or an announcer to give a great play a name. Twitter had the play pegged quicker than the umpire could call Ryan Braun “out.”

Was it the “Catch of the Century?” White Sox fans might argue with that.
