Wilyer Abreu of Red Sox nearly makes catch of the year, crashing into seats during home run robbery try

He had it in his glove. It would have been one of the greatest catches in MLB history. 

Unfortunately for the Boston Red Sox, Wilyer Abreu's effort to rob New York Yankees infielder Oswaldo Cabrera's home run fell short because the ball didn't stay in the outfielder's glove. 

It was during the top of the second inning at Fenway Park in Boston when Cabrera launched a ball to deep right field off Red Sox starter Kutter Crawford.
