OK, that was, hands down, the craziest thing I've ever seen.
I mean, like, crazy good. My heart goes out to that left fielder, though – oh, the humiliation.
Nanika Ga Okoru!
hahahahaha
I like how she showed him up.

Why do you say that?
Looks totally legit to me.

I agree... looks like a staged video to me.

The sound is weird
Listen to the ball off the bat – it’s really loud.
This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.

the video quality
smoothness, and even frame rate seem to change drastically when the camera pans out to her… that’s a good sign the normal footage has been played with… plus it reminds me too much of those powerade commercials from a few years back… one had either LeBron James or Dwayne Wade sinking like 3 full court shots in a row… they suffered the same film artifacts that video did.
Finally! Some stats that are worth looking over!
I’m talking about her defensive stats of course – range factor and all that.
Why, what did you think I was talking about…. ;-)

WTF was that
I thought a monkey had a glove on. I wish I could see the LF face, he must have been in shock.

If you look at the slo mo replay
you can see how she did it and I think it’s legit. She leveraged the corner walls and the top ledge to get herself up there. Both clever and athletic.

Sadly....
...it is not real. If you look at the white logo on the catcher’s chest protector, it switches shoulders during the commercial. Apparently, it’s part of a Gatorade commercial (opens in new window).
ding ding ding
a viral video campaign… a good one though.

Yeah this went around our office yesterday
as Gatorade Commercial. Still pretty cool though.

Here's the YouTube link
Sadly, even though it was shot on location (right after the game) they used a Stunt Woman (pops) for the shot. Apparently it was based on a true story though.

Here's a "how they did it" article....
....have to admit, I thought it was real at first, too….but in hindsight, I think the players would have reacted differently.

I fixed your link.

First thing I thought was no way a ball girl gets that close to a live ball
so I was immediately skeptical. The LF never even went to the corner so it looked staged right away. A very convincing fake, I must say.
