VIDEO Phillies Cliff Lee catch is amazing, unbelievable and…ho hum?

Cliff Lee was living an “In the Zone” poster tonight in game one of the World Series against the New York Yankees! In addition to throwing a one-run complete game against the best offense in baseball, Cliff Lee had the top two plays in sports tonight with his glove!

Sabathia threw seven innings of two-run ball, but it seemed like the worst game of his career in comparison to the almost untouchable Lee.
