For centuries, these prized fish have been at the heart of Newfoundland's fishing industry, providing sustenance and livelihoods for its people. But catching goes beyond just fish; it extends to thrilling moments on sports fields too. In the 1955 World Series, left fielder Sandy Amoros of the Brooklyn Dodgers made an unforgettable catch. As Yogi Berra sent a deep fly ball soaring towards him in Yankee Stadium, Amoros leaped into action and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Across oceans in Whitstable, England, oyster catches are a way of life.
