One giant leap for outfielder kind

Did you see this catch? You probably have, it’s been all over the internet.

Amazing, right? It’s so awesome that, if you were to pitch it to Hollywood, they’d laugh you out of the room. Not even a screwball comedy would dare put such a play to film. And yet, there it is: a player named Derrick Salberg leaping over the fence and catching what would have been the tying run of the game. Yes, he’s a JuCo player, and yes, the fence is only four feet tall, but that doesn’t make the play any less amazing. In fact, it might make it more so. It also has quite the story behind it as well: it would have been the final game in his coach’s career had Derrick’s team lost.

I have nothing I can truly add to this, but it is such a great catch I felt as if I had to put something up about it.
