Willy T. made a catch last night where he was waiting at the top of Tal's Hill, just left of dead center, to catch a ball right at the wall.  I've never seen that play occur before, where the outfielder caught a ball on the hill's warning track—though I figure someone has seen this, that it's happened before.  The only plays I distinctly remember involving Tal's Hill are: (1) Andruw Jones going up the hill on back-to-back plays but failing to make the catch both times; (2) The Edmonds catch from this year, where he caught a ball over-the-shoulder while going up the hill; and (3) This Taveras play from last night.  There must be others.  That Wiki link has several including a Berkman catch and a Biggio biff.
