When a ball gets lost in the lights or in the sun, you put your glove up where you think the ball is going to come down and hope it lands in your glove. ...

What Lights Do You Speak of Mr. Holliday

... “I couldn’t see the ball. I lost in the lights. I had it in the beginning but then the ball came down through the lights and I lost it. When that happens, you hope it hits your body or hits your glove. I just lost it. Tough to swallow. I feel terrible. The ball hit my stomach. I think I can catch a fly ball hit right at me. Wainwright pitched a good game, the bullpen did its job. I just didn’t catch it.” Matt Holliday [STL Today] ...

... ended his season, along with that of those lovely midwesterners who gave Holliday such a rousing reception prior to yesterday’s game.
