Yes it is. (I could not help myself)
It's a commercial for Gatorade.
From Faux News:
quote:It turns out the video is part of a new viral Web ad produced by Gatorade. The woman in the video doesn't normally retrieve foul balls. She's a stuntwoman who was hooked up to cables for the extra footage, filmed after the game in front of about a hundred fans and players who stayed late, according to abc30.com.

Are you saying the jump and catch are fake, or that it is a fake game? If the jump is fake, they have gotten computer graphics to the point I don't know what to believe any more.
It looked flawless to me.

From the first link I posted:
quote:The clip, produced by Element 79 combined footage taken during and after a game between the two minor league teams with some digital trickery to produce the illusion of a spectacular catch made by a hustling ball girl.
"The big shot, the one that follows the ball out [from the plate to left field], was completely choreographed for lack of a better word," Smith said, explaining that a motion control shot followed what would have been the trajectory of the ball, and the artisans at New York's Framestore CFC later inserted a ball in post.
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 and Framestore CFC.
Smith and his 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.
It's a creative way of advertising though. A lot of publicity basically transmitted free of charge by people on forums, E-mails etc.
