i know this is a silly and unrealistic question,
Lets say a player is going back to rob a home run and the wall isnt very tall, and the player is either very athletic, or has some extra time because the ball was hit very high up. theoretically, can the defensive player jump on top of the wall, balance himself on the top and then rob the home run while standing on top of the wall. I know players are allowed to dive into the stands to catch foul balls. so i dont see why this would be against the rules. I understand this is very unlikely and possibly even impossible. but im just wondering if doing this would be against the rules?
There are plenty of low walls around. some examples being the left field wall right by the foul pole where the wall dips down considerable. maybe only 4-5 feet tall. Angel stadium near the right field foul poul, fenway park near peskys pole. with the athletes we have today verticle jump heights have gotten crazy, and the walls are plenty thick enough for a player to be able to stand on it and they would only need to hold their balance there for a couple seconds anyways
