While Rockies fans can’t see Nolan Arenado on their TV sets in this Rocktober cut short, they can bid on his autographed jersey from one of the best — if not the best — defensive moments of his six-year career.
Goldin Auctions is auctioning off Arenado’s game-used jersey from April 14, 2015, when the five-time Gold Glove winner made an over-the-shoulder, Wille Mays-esque catch on a pop-up in foul territory against the Giants at AT&T Park.
The play became known as the “tarp catch,” for the way Arenado — running full speed toward the stands and en route to his first all-star nod that season — barreled into the field tarp immediately after making the grab, and then spun and fired the ball back to the infield.
