Daniel Descalso deposited his walk-off homer directly into the Chase Field pool

Walk-off home runs aren't cool, you know what is cool? No, not a billion dollars (although yes, that is pretty cool). What's cool are walk-off home runs hit INTO POOLS. That's the kind of walk-off dinger that Daniel Descalso hit against the Rockies in the D-backs' 2-0, 13-inning victory on Sunday afternoon.

Look at how cool this looks:

You can also see a couple D-backs fans diving in after the ball in the main video above. Descalso talked to MLB.com's Barry Bloom about his big hit:
I'm just glad I gave us a chance to get the win," Descalso said. "I'm not trying to hit a home run there on an 0-2 count, but he made a pitch out over the plate. I put a good swing on it and it ended up being the game winner."
We're just glad nobody was in the pool at the time of impact.
