The Fan Teaser: Week 96 Solution

A full five years before Dwight Clark made “The Catch”
there was this notable grab from an unexpected hero.

OK, OK, so it wasn’t a real competition catch, but Timmy Lupus‘ home run stealing nab in the top of the sixth inning against the hated Yankees in the 1976’s “The Bad News Bears” set up one of the most phenomenal fictious finishes in baseball film history. We can only hope for a similar wild ride when this year’s Little League Baseball World Series wraps up in South Williamsport, PA.

Timmy Lupus’ trading card captured his astonished look after making the catch.
Here’s the clip of Lupus making his improbably catch.
The Bears’ epic response to being league runners up.
