Then there's this play, which happened to my 5'10", 200 lb. catcher this summer. Play at the plate, running coming home. Ball gets to my catcher first, she drops into position to block the plate and apply the tag. Runner pulls up just short, stops, and when my catcher goes to apply the tag the runner leaps over her. Cleared her by a lot too. Darndest thing I'd ever seen.
Sucked that we gave up the run, but even our side of the field had to admire that runner's athleticism. Our catcher was mad, but I told her "Hey, whatcha gonna do?"
