Tom Willis, a Man Born with No Arms, Threw the First Pitch at Wrigley Field Yesterday (Video)
Man, the Chicago Cubs are on a roll these days. Not only has the team won 14 of their last 19 games to climb into…well, second-to-last place, but they’ve also had a number of interesting things happening at the beautiful (but crumbling) Wrigley Field. Last week, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler stopped by to sing [...]

Saint Bernard at the Oakland A’s Game Tries to Bite Giants Fan (Video)
In recent years, the poor Oakland A’s have been sort of held hostage by the San Francisco Giants. They’re stuck in a terrible stadium located in the crappiest part of the San Francisco Bay Area (sorry Oakland, no offense), and they’ve been trying to move and get a new stadium built in San Jose for [...]

Female Cubs Fan Catches Ball With Beer Cup (Video)
With a 38-53 record on the season, the Chicago Cubs find themselves 13.5 games out in the race for top spot in the NL Central, and 12 games out of an NL Wild Card spot. Needless to say, their play on the field hasn’t been giving Cubs fan much, if anything, to get excited about, [...]

Minor League Catcher Obliterates Base Runner During Collision At The Plate (Video)
Remember when San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey broke his leg and ended his season after a brutal home plate collision last year? Everyone was talking about how the MLB has to do something to protect the poor, vulnerable catchers from such plays, including Posey’s own manager, Bruce Bochy. On some level, the argument was [...]

Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis Read Lineups and Throw Out First Pitch at Cubs Game (Videos)
Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis star together in a new movie called “The Campaign” that opens August 10. According to IMDb, it’s about two political rivals with big ambitions who “tangle with each other.” Sounds fun. And since this is an election year and the movie is about a political campaign, the decision to turn [...]

Jays’ Brett Lawrie Leaves Game After Falling Over The Railing At Yankee Stadium (Video)
Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie is easily one of the most energetic, up-tempo players in the MLB today. Sometimes that style of play works in his favor, whether it be via a great fielding play, a stolen base, or even a home run. And at other moments it can work against him, as [...]

Padres Fan Makes Nice Catch On Foul Ball Despite Cast On Right Hand (Video)
The folks who produce Padres games for Fox Sports San Diego know the home team doesn’t give them a whole lot of stuff to talk about. Not positive stuff, anyway. So they like to send their intrepid field reporter into the stands to interview fans whenever something remotely interesting happens. Last week it was the [...]

Watch This Mascot Get Thrown From An ATV And Hit The Ground Face First (Video)
It’s not easy being a sports mascot. Not only are those suits ridiculously hot, but those guys get subjected to all kinds of abuse and humiliation. If they aren’t being pushed or tackled or molested by crazy fans, they’re the victims of stunts gone wrong. And that brings us to poor Rip Tide. He’s the [...]

Spike Lee Catches Bat Flung Into Stands At Yankees Game (Video)
Remember when the New Yankee Stadium first opened in 2009, and all anyone was talking about was all the empty, $2000 field-level seats visible on TV? Well, three years later there are still a lot of empty field-level seats at Yankees games. However, this isn’t always a bad thing. Just ask film director Spike Lee. [...]

Did Phillies Prospect Jiwan James Make An Insane Bare-Handed Catch Over The Outfield Wall? (Video)
Do you like magic tricks? If so, you’re going to love this play. Recently, Jiwan James, a highly touted prospect in the Philadelphia Phillies farm system—or is it pharm system?—made an absolutely unbelievable over-the-wall catch to rob an opposing batter of a home run. And by “absolutely unbelievable,” I don’t mean it was so amazing [...]

Jay Cutler Sings “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” At Wrigley Field (Video)
The Chicago sports scene is kind of weird. Fans will put up with a hundred years of futility and heartbreak from the Cubs, but they absolutely will not tolerate bad quarterbacks. Just ask Jay Cutler. The guy came to the Bears from Denver prior to the 2009 season, led the league with 26 interceptions, and [...]

Rangers’ Josh Hamilton Gets A Twizzler From A Fan (Video)
Chasing balls around the outfield during a lengthy four-run inning can cause any outfielder to build up quite the appetite. Just ask Texas Rangers’ left fielder Josh Hamilton, who found himself doing just that as the Seattle Mariners sent nine batters to the plate during a four-run first inning at Safeco Field on Saturday. So [...]

Check Out Melky Cabrera’s Awkward Interview After Winning The All-Star MVP Award (Video)
Do you know what Melky Cabrera‘s greatest achievement was at the 2012 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night? No, it wasn’t going 2 for 3 with a 2-run home run and winning the MVP award (which came with a brand new 2013 Chevy Camero). It was somehow managing to be more awkward than commissioner Bud [...]

Ozzie Guillen’s Uncensored And Unscripted Encounter With Heath Bell On “The Franchise” (Video)
When Jim Boutin‘s Ball Four came out in 1970, his insider’s account of what goes on behind closed doors in pro baseball made him enemy #1 in Major League Baseball. They called the guy a traitor for breaking the game’s most sacred unspoken rule (what happens in the clubhouse stays in the clubhouse), and the [...]

Some Angry Fans Busted Out Their Best Kung Fu Moves During Brawl At Home Run Derby Monday Night (Video)
Since there is actually something at steak in the MLB All-Star Game (namely, home-field advantage in the World Series), you can understand how fans might take it pretty seriously and, upon consuming a few too many beers, get a little worked up. But the Home Run Derby? That’s just a fun, meaningless exhibition. People wouldn’t [...]
