Nelson Cruz sends a pitch swimming with the fishes against the Rays image

Nelson Cruz went yard against the Rays Wednesday afternoon. Better yet, he went pool. 

The Mariners outfielder jacked a home run so deep against the Rays at Tropicana Field it landed in a pool full of sea life positioned in the stands.
