In the pbp ... I don't recall exactly... but on some fly balls it always says the outfielder is going back ... then they make a catch at their shoetops.

That just doesn't mesh ... as traditionally, if you are going backwards you aren't going to catch a ball by your shoe tops.

That's usually reserved for coming in..

No big deal, but it just paints a funny picture of a guy going back, and then turning around and making a shoestring catch ...
