Jason Heyward made an amazing Spider-Man catch and Trevor Bauer had to applaud him

Like the riddle of the Sphinx or Hercules' 12 labors, the wind at Wrigley Field is one of the greatest challenges that man can face. Jason Heyward was up to the task during the Cubs' 3-2 victory in World Series Game 5 on Sunday, though.

After a long at-bat in the top of the third, Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer hit a foul ball down the right-field line. Heyward raced over and, with little foul ground, scaled the wall. But with the wind swirling, the ball doubled back toward the field and the right fielder showed off excellent oblique strength to stretch backward and make the grab.

Even Bauer knew what a feat this was and had no choice but to give Heyward a hand.

Tune in to FOX to watch the Cubs try to keep their World Series hopes alive in Game 6 on Tuesday, with 7 p.m. ET air time l 8 p.m. ET game time.
