Dodgers outfielder Garret Anderson(notes) can be seen tracking the flight of the ball — he kind of wanders, actually — and then gives up after he realizes it's a lost cause. But Anderson, no doubt ever-observant over a long MLB career, saw the ball drop right into the mitt.
And did he give a double-take for the ages.
It might be the first time Anderson was recorded reacting to anything on a baseball field, actually.
So many of you have probably seen the Mike Stanton homer-in-an-empty-glove story by now, but I found this gem of a quote in the Big League Stew article about it. Oh, FUGA, how I loathe thee.

Link Fail.
A lotta room in right-center, if he hits one there we can dance in the streets. The 2-1. Swung, line drive left field! One run is in! Here comes Bream! Here's the throw to the plate! He is...safe! Braves win! Braves win! Braves win! Braves win!...Braves win!
It was funny, I saw the highlight last night
And I didn’t notice, nor did the BBTN people, that the ball had landed in the glove. I was wondering why Garret Anderson stood and stared so long at where the ball had landed. Seemed weird that he just paused there at the fence without knowing the reason.
