I thought the same thing. They are such close plays, it's hard to keep an eye on the ump when you've got a screaming line drive coming at you and you're trying to keep it from nailing someone in the stands. A lot of them had another person there, it should be the 2nd person's job to watch the ump and call out if it's ruled fair.

Agreed they have a split second to make a decision.

Not a real video. It was a Gatorade ad. Is it real game footage? No, it's a commercial for Gatorade sports drink: Gatorade ended its association with the agency that created the ad, Element 79, shortly after the video was completed and shelved the campaign. "We were not planning to release the ball girl video," [Gatorade spokeswoman Jill] Kinney said. "However, now that it's out there, we're thrilled with the response it's getting." Kinney said Gatorade doesn't know who posted the video, and Element 79 said on its website that it had nothing to do with posting the video. There is no mention of Gatorade in the video, though there is a bottle by the chair where the ball girl sits near the end of the clip. And Gatorade has clearly become associated with it, to the company's delight. (Although the above quote states that Gatorade "shelved" the campaign, the ball girl commercial aired during baseball's 2008 All-Star Game.)

It's fake unfortunately.

Which one?

​@@BattlestarDamocles datASS forgot to mention time stamp.

She missed it because she was wearing the wrong uniform. Truthfully it was just a bad hop that has happened to anyone who has ever played.

Was not even real it was for a commercial. It was got Gatorade and was a stuntwoman on wires.

@@josephhodges9819 NO IT WASN'T! DON'T MAKE STUFF UP!!! You're just jealous you could never do that!

@@babsphillips8583 oh shut up Babs. Look on the internet it'll tell you all over. It was for a Gatorade commercial it was a stunt woman who was on wires. The woman is named Phoenix Brown and it was a collaboration between Gatorade and Element79. The ad was shelved but someone released it. FYI Phoenix Brown is the daughter of Mel B.

@@babsphillips8583 lay off the meth, Karen.

This has been floating around the web for decades. How do you people still not know this is fake?

That last catch was......bullshit.

It was a Gatorade commercial and the woman is stuntwoman Phoenix Brown on wires.

Yeah. Sign her up to a job as a stunt double since that's what it is.

No because everyone knows it's a Gatorade commercial with a stunt woman

Well in truth, most of them are covering a range not even 10 feet wide and only a few back to the wall. So the only ones they get are hit directly at them. In other words, literally "right place, right time."

You're lying because it was a Gatorade commercial

@@gameonsports69 I was joking but you are stupid! lol Brian Williams is another joke but you are too stupid to know that too! You are stupid all around!

@@gameonsports69 It was a joke...Brian Williams...the anchor who lied.

Who says it's fake? Show proof. If it was used in a commercial doesn't mean it wasn't real...

@@billtmarchi4320

@@billtmarchi4320 People Still Believe That This Six-Year Old Gatorade Commercial Is Actually Real. It was about six years ago that a video of a ball girl at a Fresno Grizzlies baseball game making an impossible catch in the left field corner was “leaked” and started going viral at an insane rate. The video, as it was revealed in the months following the leak, was part of a canceled Gatorade ad campaign created by Element 79 and directed by Baker Smith, and it was actually filmed at Chukchansi Park, where the Grizzlies play. However, despite the hopes and dreams of the hundreds of thousands of people who watched that video in the first few months that it was on KZfaq, the ball girl didn’t make that jump. Instead, she was a stunt girl attached to cables, and some very impressive digital work was used to make it look like she showed up Fresno’s left fielder, who was actually a minor league infielder named Jake Wald just playing his role in a spectacular illusion. Also, look at the whole video and you will see that the catcher is a righty in one shot and a lefty in another shot. It's fake my friend!

@@RisingTidesAC Damn (good knowledge).

6:30 gets an A but obviously not for fielding that ball

I agree completely. Great play!

Fake

From a commercial.

@@larrysfgfan1 so it's still the best one

Do you have proof of the commercial?

I'm a Sox fan but "ball attendant" is stupid and patronizing.

read the long explaination below, from Larry, and a longer one still as a reply to it.

Ah OK. haha, it's fake

Te Best cach for all Time.

I would hope so

😂

😂Underrated comment right here 😂

I know. And despite the fact that it's common knowledge that it's not real, people keep including it in these compilations (and worse yet, people claiming that it's real because they saw it happen during the game).

Didnt realize it was fake till reading your post. My BS meeter is pretty good, disappointed I fell for it.

@@SW-fk6jk Don't be too hard on yourself, lots of us have made that mistake.

@@almostfm I was at that game. It was real

The last catch was filmed in Fresno, CA, for a Gatorade commercial. It's fake.

@@RustySax1949 LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!

​@@babsphillips8583 why do so many people argue about that. It's a pretty famous commercial.

Yeah I laughed, thinking they had to just throw that one in for good measure

I can't believe they showed that one. I wonder why.

😂😂 Why does that matter? If this was , say... a valet parking lot, they would be "Lot Attendent", not car girl/guy

😂

No, they are "ball attendants"...get with the plan, dude!!!

She was a hooters girl, probably some promotional night, but yeah

I bet every guy at bat was hitting foul balls to the left the whole game. Especially grounders.

Ball girl in the afternoon and Hooters waitress in the evening.

we all know where the best seats were that day.

Grow up! They have to actually audition. If they weren't good at what they do; they wouldn't make it. Just FYI, if you're going to the game just to watch this; then you're not a real fan of baseball. They work hard for their position; don't make it a sexual thing! Shame on you

It hit her foot. Didn't get her body behind the ball. Poor form.

I think her Form was great. But then I'm straight

@@scottadams4511WHAT A BUZZKILL!!!

What team???

Sadge? Wtf?

The Umps make the call but the ball attendants are allowed to protect the crowd, any of the ones where they ran out to get them sure its bad, but any ball coming at the crowd without a net to protect them they will not get in trouble for that as you never know if its going to kick up and hit some kid or unaware person. Better safe than sorry, its just a game, you hate to see a very bad injury over a game of baseball. Even on some fields when they sit with a security officer, their job is to protect that officer as they do not usually have their eyes on gameplay and are watching the crowd so they are an unprotected person usually on the crack of the bat.

That's alot to say in .05 seconds.

@@KitKatHD exactly, any fair ball hit and goes flying towards the Ball attendants they will and should catch. No player gets upset over that. Safety as you said, its also instinct. I do like the drop the ball "i didn't do nothing" reaction when they seen it was a fair ball.

lol

They have to make a decision in a fraction of a second. Sometimes, circumstances do not give them a choice to take their eyes off the ball long enough to watch the umpire.

How much time do you think you get to make a split decision?

How's the nursing home?

Why? That's what they are...

That one was a commercial. I love the clip, but it's totally fake.

That's because you are stupid. If you watched the video, you'd know the ball boys and ball girls protect the fans from foul balls and it's about baseball, not the kind of balls you and your boyfriends gargle.

If that's where your mind goes when you hear that term, the problem is definitely with YOU, not the title "ball girl".

@@mohamstaz3618 I'm guessing you like to handle the players bats.

Nope, that would be soccer.

Best special effects ever. It's a gatorade commercial.

AGREE - these videos all have the SAME footage.

I think they're all junior high and high school.

@@dalethelander3781 Nope. College softball players, for the most part. You think they use minors to protect the fans from foul balls? Also, you thinking these college age women look like jr high school girls is disturbing.

@@Ziggy_Moonglow I calls 'em as I sees 'em. They appear WAY too young to attend college. Thought this was just an after-school job by unskilled workers. They must've gotten tired of saying "you want fries with that?" And people like you see pedophilia everywhere, especially where there is none. And racism. I could live without hearing that word ever again. You're a sick symptom of "woke" culture. You idiots think you can "evolve" humanity to a higher level. You're probably against trucking and spiking, too. Seek therapy, and from unwoke shrinks. I wish things could go back to the way they were in the 1980s and 90s, when nobody gave a shit about anything except themselves.

@@dalethelander3781 They have to be at least 18 when the regular season starts, but I agree- some of them look like they could be 15.

And what if they are?

Doubting Thomas.
