This Enthusiastic Fan Doesn’t Care How Bad The Astros Are (Video)
Nobody has fewer wins over the last two Major League Baseball seasons than the Houston Astros. Last year they finished 56-106 (worst in baseball), and so far this year they are 36-75 (worst in baseball). As a consequence, the team has gone into hardcore rebuilding mode and sold off every single player with any value. [...]

Watch The Embarrassing Houston Astros Throw Away The Ball, And The Game (Video)
The Houston Astros are without a doubt the worst team in Major League Baseball, and we can prove it. For exhibit A, we turn to their 36-74 record and their .327 winning percentage. Not only is that good enough to place them last in the entire MLB, but it is a staggering 4.5 games worse [...]

Yankees Fan Faceplants Onto The Field While Trying To Snag A Foul Ball (Video)
Over the past couple of years, we’ve learned a lot of the dos and don’ts when it comes to catching a foul ball at a baseball game. For example, if a foul ball is coming your way, do catch it in your beer. And do not sit there updating your Facebook status while the ball [...]

Minor League Umpire Ejects Music Guy For Playing “Three Bling Mice” Over The PA (Video)
We told you earlier today how it’s been a tough year for baseball umpires, who have just been inundated with all kinds of nonsense that most of us never have to deal with at work. Well, it seems that at least one minor league baseball umpire had seen/heard enough. So the other day, when “Three [...]

Twins Fan Caught Taking A Whiff Of Her Armpit (GIF)
There are a few things that spectators at a baseball game should be concerned about. Avoiding any errant bats and balls that make their way into the stands is usually one of those things. The smell of their own armpits on a hot summer night, on the other hand, is rarely on that list of [...]

Carlos Lee Hit Umpire Joe West In The Head With His Bat (Video)
Is it just me, or have baseball umpires had it particularly rough this year? To recap, just this season alone, we’ve seen an umpire get hit in the head with a broken bat, punched in the face by Yorvit Torrealba, hit in the junk by a 96 mph Stephen Strasberg fastball, forced to tackle a [...]

LA’s Jerry Hairston Can’t Get A Grip On The Ball, While Miami’s Ricky Nolasco Can’t Let Go (Videos)
Of baseball’s many rules and infractions, the hardest to detect would have to be the balk. While the basic idea is simple—once a pitcher starts his throwing motion, he can’t stop—in practice it’s so complicated that Major League Baseball has actually listed 14 distinct types of balks. For this reason, fans can’t always comprehend balk [...]

Jimmy Rollins Can Thank Bryce Harper For This Stand-Up Inside-The-Park Home Run (Video)
Bryce Harper may be the most hyped hitter baseball has ever seen, but his defense out in right field could use some work. On Tuesday night, the last place Philadelphia Phillies traveled to Washington D.C. to take on the first place Nationals at Nationals Park. And apparently the Phillies were not at all demoralized by [...]

Minor League Baseball Manager With History Of Epic Tirades Does It Again (Video)
There are few things that put a smile on the face of a baseball fan like a good old-fashioned manager tirade. Sure, rain delay antics are nice, but they also have a downside (i.e., a rain delay). On the other hand, there is very little downside to a manager blowing his top and going ballistic [...]

This San Francisco Giants Ball Girl Makes A Routine Play Look Hard (Video)
In Philadelphia, the fans are notoriously hard on everybody who sets foot on the field at Citizens Bank Park—players and non-players alike. In fact, they’re so vicious that the Phillies even tried hiring Hooters waitresses to be ball girls in the hope that this might placate the angry masses. But that didn’t work either, as [...]

Is That Kirk Gibson Bobblehead Doing What I Think It’s Doing? (Video)
Back on October 15, 1988, former Dodgers’ outfielder Kirk Gibson made history with his one and only plate appearance during Game One of the World Series against the Oakland A’s. With one runner on, two outs and the Dodgers trailing 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth, Gibson was called upon to pinch-hit. Hobbling to [...]

Twins’ Bat Boy Almost Takes Out Ryan Doumit With A Slide Tackle (Video)
I always thought it would be kind of awesome to be a Major League bat boy, hanging out in the dugout and waiting hand and foot on real big-leaguers. But when you think about it, there’s a real downside to the gig. You have to be out there under the spotlight, in front of tens [...]

Texas Rangers Fan Challenges Food Vendor to a Dance-Off (Video)
Since the mid-60s, when the Mets introduced baseball’s first mascot, Mr. Met, most teams have tried to provide their fans with some form of non-baseball-related entertainment at the ballpark for when the game itself gets a little boring. But recently, some teams have really taken this stuff to a whole new level. They don’t just [...]

Star Wars Storm Troopers Made an Appearance on the Kiss Cam at Citi Field Last Night (Video)
So last night at CitiField in New York it was “Star Wars Night”—or, as I like to call it, “Bring a Nerd to the Ballgame Night.” Why was it “Star Wars Night”? Well, apparently Lucasfilm, Major League Baseball, and charity organization Stand Up To Cancer have teamed up to “use the Force for good” this [...]

This Fan Danced Like Nobody Was Watching…Because It Was the Trop, and Hardly Anyone Was (Video)
I love baseball and all its idiosyncrasies, but even I’ll admit that the Great American Pastime can be a little slow sometimes. Fortunately, over the years baseball fans have developed a number of ways to cope with the occasional bout of boredom. On Friday night, the Rays and Mariners were tied at three after nine [...]
