During a Pirates-Braves game last week, Matt Olson of the Braves hit a grand slam out of the park and into the water. 

Olson is the only Braves player in the history of the club to do so. 

So, Pittsburgh River Rescue went to work - and they found it! 

Pittsburgh Public Safety said if the Braves want the ball, they can contact them via social media.
