"That Would Never Happen In A Hundred Years"
... except when it does:
I have no idea what game this came from; the timestamp on the YouTube page is an unhelpful November 23, 2007. The current #1 with the Braves is catcher Gregor Blanco, but he's only been a major leaguer for the last two years.

Upon further investigation, that's Billy Wagner pitching to Paul Lo Duca, which makes it 2006 or 2007. Given the time stamp, and the fact that it's Martin Prado vs. Billy Wagner, I'd bet it's this game:

Intrigued by Mr.'s find and leveraging Ms.'s research, I pulled up the game on the MLB.TV archives. (Man, has the quality improved in two years.) Yup, that's it, at the 3:03:40 mark. The guy at the plate is actually Kelly Johnson. There's no further coverage of it, but hilarity ensues in the dialogue which follows:
A1: I tell you, our camera crew here, and our director...they're ok. Not great, not great, but...above average.
A2: They just us told you to turn your mic off.
