Must see: Mariners' Mitch Haniger leaps, flips into stands for incredible catch | The News Tribune

Mitch Haniger took a leap into the Safeco Field stands, and he didn’t even get any garlic fries or grasshoppers.

He did hang on to the baseball, though.

In something out of the incredible, Haniger jumped near the short wall in foul territory in right field. It undercut his legs in midair and sent him spiraling head-first into the stands.

Yet, somehow he hung on for the catch and leaped out of the seats quickly to throw to the plate, though the umpires ruled the play dead with Niko Goodrum getting to third base.
