Beach ball at Marlins Park causes umpire to change called strike (VIDEO)

Victor Martinez takes a strike Saturday against the Tigers, but then has it called back after a beach ball lands on the Marlins Park field.

After the umpire signaled a called strike, the distracted Martinez pointed towards the outfield fence where a beach ball was bouncing around. After some conversation between Tigers manager Jim Leyland and the ump, the man-behind-the-plate changes the call to a no pitch.

It's the Miami Marlins. What'd you expect ... a baseball?
