The Toronto Blue Jays center fielder lived up to his "Superman" billing with a surreal diving catch in the top of the ninth inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers, taking away extra bases from Carl Crawford.
Though a run scored on the sacrifice fly, Pillar gave the Blue Jays some life going into the ninth inning down 6-2, which helps give credence to this fan's theory:
