The media had an orgy the next day over Granderson's diving catch in CF. Yet Skip schumaker had a similar, if not better catch the same night. No mention in the media. Skip made his catch in a one run game making it much more important than Granderson's catch in a 10-1 blowout. Yet the media was worshiping the negro nonstop, while Skip goes unappreciated. Too bad you're white Skip, or you'd be on national news for your catch.

The new york times says Granderson's catch "adds to baseball lore"

I couldn't find video of Skip's catch, but here's a photo if you missed it:
