Incredible "Superman" Slide at home plate!

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.

3rd base coach made a terrible call sending him.

That's some fvckin athleticism there though.

What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

Always used to daydream as a kid about doing that. Awesome to actually see it done.
