Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Ben Revere had a very memorable night on Monday. For starters, he made one of the most spectacular catches we will see all season in the second inning of a loss to the Cincinnati Reds. As you can see from the video above, Revere went full extension on a line drive to center field to rob extra bases and double off a runner at first base. It was an incredible play, as the 24-year-old’s body was completely horizontal to the ground.

In addition to the catch, Revere also made a heartwarming gesture by paying tribute to the Boston Marathon bombing with a message on his glove. As I’m sure you have heard, tragic explosions left at least three people dead and more than 100 injured near the finish line of the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday. Revere placed a pace of tape across the side of his glove with the words “pray for Boston” written across it.

Ben Revere decided to celebrate Black History Month the way any reasonable person would: by buying some chicken and waffles flavored chips.

The Philadelphia Phillies outfielder appeared to be shopping at a store Tuesday when he tweeted a picture of the new flavor of Lay’s chips. He asked if he should try them and, in his next tweet, he suggested fellow African-American ballplayer Denard Span grab a bag.

Happy black history month! Lol @thisisdspan you gotta get a bag homie.. twitter.com/BenRevere9/sta…

There’s nothing quite like celebrating February’s Black History Month with a stereotype about African-American eating preferences. At least this wasn’t as bad as Michael and Martellus Bennett’s Black Olympics video.

Revere better give his Twitter followers a review of the chips. They’re one of three finalists for the newest Lay’s flavor, competing with cheesy garlic bread and sriracha.

Ben Revere is developing a reputation as a center fielder who makes spectacular catches on a regular basis. Last week he burned former teammate Delmon Young with two sweet grabs in the same game. He went over his shoulder to rob Delmon in the first inning last Wednesday. That catch was nice, but it had nothing on this spectacular grab made against the Orioles Monday night. Check out the video:

You know it’s not Vladimir Guerrero’s season when he gets robbed on a catch like that. We’ve posted some pretty amazing plays here at LBS, and that’s up there with some of the best catches of the season. But when it comes to awesome baseball catches, nothing will top this sweet Spiderman grab. Nothing.
