Diving Superman Baseball Play

April28

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a … Fordham baseball player? Yes, that’s college boy Brian Kownacki joining Mark Buehrle and Paul Maholm as an early contender for the baseball play of the year with this unbelievable and successful leap turned handspring over Iona catcher James Beck on Tuesday. The soaring Superman play wasn’t just for show, either. It was part of a nine-run rally in the eighth inning that helped Fordham overcome an early 9-1 deficit en route to a 12-9 win.

@yes4me I meant that as a parody to Tom Hanks’ line in “A League Of Their Own.”

@overdarainbo I didn’t know it was allowed or possible either but from what I read at other news sites, it is allowed!!

Rule 7.08(b) in the Official MLB Rules says that a runner is out when: He intentionally interferes with a thrown ball; or hinders a fielder attempting to make a play on a batted ball.
