...at any level, live or tv:

I forget against which team, and I think it was at home, but Vinnie Papale made an incredible twisting, diving sideline catch that defied both gravity and human movement.

Fantastic memory!

Hey Bob,

I wish we had footage of that game. Vince Papale only caught one pass in 1975. It was a 49 yard touchdown pass from Bob Davis at Anaheim Stadium on Friday, August 29, 1975 against the Southern California Sun. It was a wild one with the Sun beating the Bell 58-39. Steve Colavito had a big game that night for the Bell on defense with 14 solo tackles.
