By that I mean does anyone know if it's available on the net like everything else caught on camera?

I haven't seen the highlight yet--I'm looking forward to it. But if you're talking about the stands above the home run marker in right field--that's gotta be more than 20 feet down to the water. The top of the right field wall has gotta be 30 feet above the field and the field is above sea level by a bit.

He didn't jump out of the stands, he just jumped off the walkway, 5 ft into the water.

When Bonds hit his 660th, some idiot did jump out of the stands, dropped 30 ft down to the walkway, and is now in the hospital in serious or critical condition (don't remember which).

Ive been to Pac Bell (or SBC... ugh :-t

) Park at least 20 times, and have walked along that boardwalk a number of times. Its only about 10 feet from boardwalk to bay, so its not much of a jump. He did do a headfirst dive... into really cold water... imagine what that must have felt like on his face 8-o

. Then the guy was just hanging around the boardwalk, wet shirt and all! At least he got the ball.

Pac Bell Park is to me the best stadium in the majors, simply because of the splash hit aspect. I mean, that is the coolest, most innovative thing they could have come up with. Its created an entirely new stat, and developed extra exitement for Bond's HRs (if thats possible). A great feature.

I think it would be much metter if they introduced some more exciting aspects, like sharks,crocodiles etc. Give it more of a james Bond feel. Let us see if there really is anyone who would give an arm and a leg for a Bonds home run ball.

(OOPs...I did it again, now I have to be P.C and apologise to any shark attack victims in the forum....and Greg Norman).
