1 Should Leon have caught Kessinger's fly?

I'm wondering on the conventional wisdom on this. In extra innings, you're the home team, with the score tied, a man on third and less than two out, suppose a foul fly comes your way. Do you catch it or not? I was there, there was no question that the ball was going to be foul.
