Our number 11 moment was Kevin Pillar going over the wall to rob a home runs from Tim Beckham.

For me, this stands in for all the great catches Pillar made in his time as with the Blue Jays. And it really does speak to his playing style. We were up 11-3 in the 7th inning so if Pillar had watched the ball go over the wall, it wouldn’t have changed the chances of winning, but Kevin didn’t have a second gear. Close game or blow out, he went for every catch. It might have helped his career if he had played to the score a little more, but that isn’t in his personality.

I’m not sure that this is the best catch of his Blue Jays career. we would have hundreds to choose from, but this is a great example of his play.
