Ball Girl Catch

[HamJam0512]

wut heck no

[Thuggin2222]

The ball girl is a stuntwoman named Phoenix Brown, they were filming a Gatorade commercial. The catch was set up, it's not real.

WTF

[perillivolcomha]

[poonkinator]

why do people think this is real

[ryandc1995]

i dunno lol

[kaylanicole4ever]

wooow thats an amazing catch!

[halkaplan]

This is pretty awesome whether or not it's real. It' either a miraculous catch or unbelievable editing.

[nook3y]

wow

love if she catches my ball like that...

[dennis261186]

schon hart!!!! lol^^

[PhOeniXibeX]

the catchers glove too.. shifts from left to right!

[TaxTruth]

The commercial takes us to a Triple A game between the Tacoma Rainiers and Fresno Grizzlies (televised because ... well ... Fresno). In the action, the Tacoma batter yanks a hanging curveball deep down the left field line. The ball curls foul into the corner and the Fresno leftfielder doesn't even make a move on it. But then appears the ball girl, who climbs up the wall in two bounds -- Jet Li-style -- and spins for a leaping catch.....Element 79's Swan Song for Gatorade Is Pure Gold

[thepieman2000]

i did that yesterday too a few times and now i'm pretty sore

[fabio1456]

i am a batboy for the tacoma rainiers they said the people in the commercial were each paid about 3 grand to use real game footage and they used bret johnsons double down the line to make this commercial.................FAK­E! i also saw fsn and the girl used a ropeattached to her waist to get the ball they just edited it out... also minor leagues dont use ballgirls

[rollerhockeyfan]

They had this on ESPN a few days ago, this is a fake, this clip was an unused Gatorade commercial and the girl is actually a stunt double and the team doesn't really even have "ball girls or guys" she was lifted with wires and ropes and had a boost from someone behind the wall. The Fresno asst manager was interviewed on ESPN about it and insisted it was not real.

[WaaWaaWaaa]

Yep, totally fake. Girl is running with her back to the ball. No way it could ever be real.

Catchers glove switched, fake hit sound added in, ball added in. Not real.

Girl's can't catch like that in real life.

FAKE as Pamela's 4th boob job.

[thomasbhunter007]

LOL - guys, it's CGI - it's part of a Gatorade viral ad campaign, it's not real.

[mrshorteepantz]

this ISNT REAL

[Bonzenpunk]

viral marketing strikes again

[eddydean07]

It is NOT real: Go to Urban Legends and look up Ball Girl.

urbanlegends .about. com/b/2008/06/25/ball-girl-vid­eo-is-a-fake.htm

It is pretty cool though!

[gerfall]

its fake lol... go to the yahoo headlines.

[deyb2u]

Ok, so I know it's fake (kool, but fake) but is it even legal for the ball girl to make the catch?

[kal10101010]

thats amazing

[reminder187]

Smell a bunch of haters here. WHO CARES!

It's still a dope clip. Real or Fake!!!

[corinth924]

Element 79 are the same guys who did that incredible commercial montage of Montana/Clark "The Catch" where the ball just missed his fingers, Jordan over Ehlo for the game winner - that clanged off the rim, etc ... they re-shot famous sports moments, just changed the endings. Amazing, amazing commercials. This is more nice work.

[TexMak]

Wait, did I misunderstand or are you saying that Clark didn't make the catch but Element79 made it look like he did? I was at that game and saw hime do it. I'm not say that this catch was real but I know Clark's was.

[corinth924]

Clark really did make the catch in real life (and I'm jealous of you for being there), just like Jordan really sank the basket over Ehlo. But Element79 did an absolutely brilliant spot where they recreated those moments but changed the endings (to have Clark miss, Jordan miss, etc). The commercial's called, "Winning Formula," and it's on youtube but misspelled with "gatoraid." Should be easy enough to find online. One of the best spots I've ever seen.

[miami9225]

ur right some of the coolest commercials i have ever seen

[bmoecardinals]

I cannot believe what I just saw.

[JoeySchmoe]

It is actually a viral video for Gatorade titled "Ball Girl" that was created by Chicago's Element 79 Partners.

As for how the ball girl (played by stuntwoman Phoenix Brown) made the spectacular catch that is the highlight of the video, she got a little help from rigs.

The crew shot the big catch right after the game they were shooting concluded, attaching the ball girl to wires and having two stunt men off to the side literally yanking her up the wall.

[bucknasty212]

fake

[OkayImaCritic]

Yeah, this is like that dude on the WTC towers when the plane hit on 9/11. Nice job, but fake, fake, fake...

This girl would be a guest on every talk show there is if this were real.

[sterevesa]

fake, gotta be

[maineuropa]

I would like to think that the ballgirl really did make that catch-awesome!!!

[jraykc]

I call bullshit.

[DizzyFLIPPINd]

[hauntedrobot]

[dannybonadouchebag]

[leemajella]
