Fly Ball Catch + Outfield Ad = Trippy Optical Illusion

During the seventh inning of an MLB spring training game in Arizona on Wednesday, Cleveland Indians right fielder Carlos Moncrief made an excellent, one-handed catch of a fly ball ... while running straight into someone's tastefully-appointed kitchen.

Actually, not quite -- but that's what you would imagine happened in the photo above.

Moncrief made his catch just before running into the right-field wall at Goodyear Ballpark -- a wall that happens to host a very large ad for the home-building company K. Hovnanian Homes. The company, featured on sports blogs across the web Thursday, may want to consider cutting a little commission check for Moncrief -- a minor leaguer who hasn't made the bigs since first being drafted out of Hillcrest Christian High School in Jackons, Miss., in 2007 -- for its resulting publicity.

Here's one more photo of the optical illusion, taken a moment after the previous shot.
