Amazing catch. How come these don't occur in the MLB?

MLB ball parks don't have outfield walls like that, i can't think of any stadium where you get to park your ass on the wall for a few seconds and wait for the ball to come to you.

I'm not sure that would be legal in any MLB park. The rule isn't clear on this, but I don't think you're allowed to make a catch while entirely out of the field of play, and no MLB stadium I can't think of has the same sort of offset between the HR line and the wall.

Here is the relevant part of the rules: A fielder may reach over a fence, railing, rope or other line of demarcation to make a catch. He may jump on top of a railing, or canvas that may be in foul ground.
