Longoria is killing me in my fantasy league stats. 
I'm claiming edited video on this one. Watch very closely when the batter contacts the ball. Looks like there's a blur headed down the third base line...and neither the batter nor the pitcher are looking in the direction of Longoria and the reporter after the ball was hit and thrown back on to the field.

I sent the video around to a few sports-minded friends a few weeks ago, and the consensus was that it was "shopped".
Biggest clues were no reaction whatsoever from the batter, and the words Gillette shopped into the stadium.
You'd sure think that at least the pitcher would have turned to look at what happened, but he didn't.
Apparently done for a commercial.
