Amazing Ball Girl Catch (Fake, but Cool)

Pardon me if you've seen this before. The set up is a minor league game between the Tacoma Rainiers and the Fresno Grizzlies at Chukchansi Park in Fresno. The batter drives a ball down the left field line just foul. As you can see in the video, the ball girl appears to track it down and make an amazing catch.

An amazing display of what women could do in sports if given a chance? Not exactly. This was staged and filmed for use in a Gatorade commercial which never made the air. The video leaked (probably by the guy who spent weeks editing it), and became part of the e-mail circuit.

Read all about the set-up, the actors, and the reaction in this article for MinorLeagueBaseball.com.

Whoever edited that video, please contact me. I have a Michigan-Appalachian State game I'd like you to edit.
