DeWayne Wise is 34 years old. He’s played for 6 teams over 10 years, has never had as many as 200 plate appearances in a season, and has an abysmal 62 OPS+.

And yet, for a guy whose baseball card tells a truly unremarkable story, the guy has been involved in quite a few memorable events:

• In 2009, he made an incredible catch in the top of the 9th inning to preserve Mark Buerhle’s eventual perfect game.
• A few days ago, an umpire made an incredible mistake by ruling that Wise had caught a foul ball that he clearly did not.
• Last night, he recorded the last two outs in the 9th pitching for the Yankees.

Taken separately, none of these 3 things is all that unusual. Put together, though, and Wise is going to be remembered far longer than most other players with similar numbers.
