SHARE Cubs’ Chris Coghlan makes spectacular catch

The Cubs have had their share of great catches this season, probably none better than Anthony Rizzo’s tarp-walk act.

But Chris Coghlan gave Rizzo a run for his money on Wednesday when he went into the right field stands to steal a foul ball off the bat of the Cardinals’ Tommy Pham in the fifth inning. The Cardinals had a runner on first base with two outs and were trailing the Cubs 3-1 at the time.
