If I had to guess, I’d say probably two-thirds of minor baseball games have a postgame fireworks display. But what if they had something cooler instead. 

After Monday night’s Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs game, a guy fired himself out of a cannon toward home plate. It was much better than some colorful explosions off in the distance. 

This should be a fixture in ballparks across the country.
