Floyd Makes Things Close; Fan's Girlfriend Unimpressed

At the bottom of the second inning at Shea Stadium, Mets left fielder Cliff Floyd hit a two-out, two-run home run off Braves starter Tim Hudson, to close the gap against the Braves to 5-2. The lefthanded hitting Floyd hit a scorcher to the second tier in right field, which a fan of about twenty years of age caught with a brilliant, barehanded grab. Unlike the millions of TV viewers who saw the catch, the fan's girlfriend was utterly unimpressed. The home run was Floyd's thirty-first of the season, tying his career season high.
