So many questions? Why is there a river so close to a baseball game? How often does this happen for a camera angle to be available to see a player dive into a river?
If you thought falling into the stands while chasing down a foul ball was bad, you should see this player on the field try and chase a ball on the field that ends with him going into a river headfirst.
This clip comes from the “Superpesis,” the championship series of “Pesäpallo,” which is a Scandanavian variant of baseball.
