Mariners' O'Malley dives into bleachers for potential catch of the year

MLB.com

He had no business making this play.

In Monday's game between the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees, right-fielder Shawn O'Malley ranged into uncharted territory.

A fly ball that appeared destined for the right field bleachers turned into one of the highlights of the season, as O'Malley jumped deep into the third row, and caught the ball despite falling square on his back in the bleachers.

The 28-year-old is only in his first full-time major-league season but he's certainly making his presence felt.
