Real or not? The golden age of center fielders and a night of ugly baseball

So Kevin Pillar did the above Monday night, making the catch of the season, at least until the next catch of the season.

It was a spectacular play, an instant reaction on that difficult-to-read line drive over your head. It did help that Pillar was already playing relatively deep with Jose Ramirez at the plate, but he still had to put on his Superman cape at the last moment to haul it in, keying the Blue Jays' 4-2 win over the Indians.

I've wondered this: Are we in the golden age of defense in center field?
