Poll: Which Fenway grab was better? Austin Jackson or JBJ?
On Tuesday, Cleveland Indians outfielder Austin Jackson earned quite a reaction from Hanley Ramirez when he absolutely robbed the Boston Red Sox slugger of a sure home run after flipping over the short wall in center field at Fenway Park.

Jackson's miraculous grab comes just over two weeks after Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. made an extraordinary catch of his own, leaping high above a railing in center field - a few feet from where Jackson made his catch - to deny Aaron Judge of a dinger.
With both spectacular plays defying gravity and inciting memorable reactions, which of the two feats of athleticism - and borderline craziness - was better?
