Tampa Bay Rays left fielder Carl Crawford made an amazing catch during the 2009 All-Star Game that helped lead his American League team to victory. The Carl Crawford catch also earned him the title of 2009 All-Star MVP.

With the American League up 4-3 in the seventh inning, Brad Hawpe of the Colorado Rockies hit a ball deep to left-center that Crawford nabbed on the bullpen side of the outfield fence at Bush Stadium. Crawford's leaping catch robbed Hawpe of a home run that would have given the National League the lead. After the Carl Crawford catch, the AL held on for a 4-3 win.
