[Phys-L] sports physics

Just saw this interesting clip on Yahoo news. Guy catches a line drive.

Good physics -- the leap is very high! Now check the slo-mo replay around
33 s. The guy twists his body around to land face down. It reminded me of
videos showing a cat dropped upside down. The cats twists to land feet
first.
