This will always be the greatest catch ever made, IMO, and thank goodness there is film. He looks back once over his shoulder, runs with his back completely turned for another 20 or 30 feet before the ball lands perfectly in his glove, puts on the brakes flawlessly and turns to make an incredible throw back to the infield. It's a catch I believe only Willie Mays could have made, and having his cap come off at just the right time makes it the GOAT for the ages.
