Your five minutes of fame that stay on youtube forever – amazing baseball catch

Just about everybody wants to be a hero. It’s pretty much a fact a life. Some of us get our chance and sometimes we are fortunate enough to even grab it, but at the end of the day it usually becomes nothing more than a distant memory.

The web has changed this. If you’re really lucky enough to have your moment of glory idolized in the archives of the web then people may remember it for years to come. That’s the concept of the Numa Numa phenomenon. Call it luck or call it skill, it sticks in people’s minds and gets passed around the web for years to come.

I came across an amazing baseball catch today that wasn’t even by one of the players. You have to see it to believe it. This ball girl literally jumps a few feet into the air with the help of the wall and makes an incredible catch. After the catch, she goes back to her seat and the game continues. This is obviously a memory her and the thousands of fans at the game will never forget, but there’s one key point here: this video is available for anyone and everyone to see online. When people like you or me find it, we tend to share it and so the memory lives on. This is an incredible phenomenon. Sadly it can be good and bad (blooper videos are abundant) but it shows the power of online videos.

Enjoy this amazing catch:
