In the top of the seventh inning, with the Los Angeles Dodgers leading the San Diego Padres 4-3 in game two of the NLDS, Fernando Tatis Jr. stepped up to the plate. At that moment, with a runner on and two outs, Tatis, who represented the go-ahead run, drove a first-pitch 99 mph sinker off of Dodger reliever Brusdar Graterol deep to center field. As the ball traveled in the air, Dodgers and Padres fans held their breath. Dodger center fielder Cody Bellinger tracked the ball and ran to the wall, but what happened next is something you just have to see to believe.
Watch the replay below:
After Bellinger made that mind blowing play, Dodgers fans were excited, relieved, and instantly took to Twitter and Instagram to share their reactions.

Just like Dodgers fans, San Diego Padres' fans headed to Twitter to voice their reactions to Bellinger's catch. Here is what they had to say.

Bellinger's home run robbing catch caught the attention of many, even the company Topps who decided to create a special baseball card commemorating the moment. This new Bellinger card is being sold on the Topps website now for $9.99.
Almost a day later, Tatis facetimed Alex Rodriguez and shared his reaction to Bellinger's catch, which robbed his home run.
We have seen fans and Tatis' reactions, and now it's time that we hear from the man himself. What does Cody Bellinger think about his catch?
