question: ball girl makes outstanding catch
origin: unlike a famous 2008 video clip that purportedly showed a ball girl making an amazing fence-climbing catch at a minor league baseball game (but was actually staged for a gatorade commercial), this time we have the real thing to offer: a ball girl who made snazzy leaping catch of a line drive off the bat of matt kemp during a major league baseball (mlb) game between the philadelphia phillies and the san diego padres at petco park on 9 august 2015, snaring the ball just before it headed into the stands and quickly handing it off to a nearby fan:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  according to mlb: “a ball girl totally stole the show at petco park. on a matt kemp foul, she leaped and caught the ball before it could go into the stands — casually making the grab and then looking like it was no big deal. she received a well-deserved standing ovation and ‘play of the day’ honors from the broadcast team.”
