Most broadcast booths around Major League Baseball contain at least one former ballplayer, because of the idea that they can provide insights into the game that us regular folks never could.

Last night it was “90s Retro Night” at Citizen’s Bank Park in Philadelphia.

Joe Girardi Wasn’t In The Mood For Being Heckled After Last Night’s Loss To The White Sox (Video)
I’m not sure what kind of operation the Chicago White Sox are running over there at U.S. Cellular Field, but for some reason they make the opposing manager hold his post-game press conference in a public concourse underneath the stands. That means pretty much anyone can walk buy as the coach shares his thoughts on [...]

Watch Rangers Pitchers Derek Holland and Ryan Dempster Do A Tag-Team Harry Caray Impersonation (Video)
Though I’m sure Texas Rangers fans have known about the comedic talents of starting pitcher Derek Holland for a while now, the rest of the world probably wasn’t aware of Holland’s gift until he did his Harry Caray impersonation live on Fox during Game 4 of the 2011 World Series.

Cleveland Closer Chris Perez Confronted His Hecklers In Oakland Over The Weekend (Video)
Everybody knows that the seats near the visitor’s bullpen are a magnet for the biggest loudmouths in baseball.

And this year the turn-around continued, with Cabrera posting a 4.8 WAR through 113 games, which included a batting line of .346/.390/.516 and a trip to the All-Star [...]

Orioles Fans Finally Have A Team Worth Getting Drunk And Dancing Shirtless For (Video)
Fans of the Baltimore Orioles haven’t had much to dance shirtless about in recent years.
