We Like Ike

The Mets needed a new presence in their lineup and it seems like that they have finally found just that.

Ike Davis was called up earlier this week, and he already has three hits and a stunning catch during last night's game.

For those that didn't get the chance to see Ike's catch live or on the highlight reels, the catch was one of the most remarkable I have seen in quite a long time. The Cubs batter (who knows who, I'm too lazy to look that up) hit a foul pop up into the first base dugout. Seems like a pretty uninteresting, run-of-the-mill thing, right?

Wrong. Davis reached over into the dugout, caught the ball, then did a 180, landing back on his feet in the dugout.

Let's hope that this callup will be permanent for Mr. Davis, that he will never again be a Bison, or a B-Met, or a Cyclone, but always from this point on just a regular New York Met. Let's hope that this kid will go down in the pantheon of baseball legends, that one day he, Jose Reyes, and David Wright can stand side-by-side, Hall of Famers all.
