Behold the Worst Bunt Attempt in Baseball History (GIF)
I don’t know much about Japanese baseball, but I have seen the 1992 classic Mr. Baseball, starring Tom Selleck. And if that movie is correct, then Japanese baseball players are extremely loyal to their teams, always willing to subjugate their personal self-interest for the greater good. This explains the bunt attempt you are about to […]

This Might Be the Most Acrobatic Ceremonial First Pitch Ever (Video)
If there were such a thing as the Ceremonial First Pitch Hall of Fame, there are a few ceremonial first pitches that would gain automatic entry. That guy with no hands who threw out first pitches at Wrigley and Fenway with his feet? He’d make it. So would that kid who threw out the first […]

Watch One of the Jonas Brothers Suck at Baseball (Video)
Hey, remember the Jonas Brothers? They were that boy band that caused all those pre-teen girl shopping mall riots a few years back because they all took virginity pledges, or something like that. Well, apparently some people still consider the Jonas Brothers to be “celebrities,” and one of them was invited to partake in the […]

Reds Pitcher Homer Bailey Throws Another No-Hitter, Drops Requisite F-Bomb in Postgame Interview (Videos)
Yesterday, ironically named Cincinnati Reds pitcher Homer Bailey threw the first no-hitter of 2013 against the reigning World Series champion San Francisco Giants. For most Major League pitchers, that right there would have been good enough—great story, career highlight, now let’s go have a steak. But for Bailey, the story gets better. This was not […]

Astros Fan Can’t Make the Easy Catch, Gets Beaned By Foul Ball (Video)
It’s no secret that the Houston Astros are definitely perhaps one of the worst teams in Major League Baseball. The franchise held on to its aging stars for too long, traded them away for nothing, and then were forced into full-on rebuild mode. However, through all that, it seemed like the fans were taking it […]

Bryce Harper Back From the DL, Crushes Home Run in First At Bat (Video)
Before the 2013 MLB season started, lots of experts were saying the Washington Nationals were the best team in baseball, and that they would win the National League East in a cakewalk. Unfortunately, real life has a way of playing havoc with predictions. The Nats have had a pretty rough year, relatively speaking. After getting […]

Foul Ball Scares the Everliving Hell Out of White Sox Fan Sitting Behind Home Plate (Video)
Most baseball fans would love to sit in the first row right behind home plate. However, this vantage point does not come without its drawbacks. For example, if you should suffer a serious lapse in judgement and do something very inappropriate, you will be on television and, subsequently, the internet. Similarly, if you are not […]

Muninori Kawasaki Gives Us One More Great Video Before Heading Back to the Minors (Video)
It’s a sad day for Toronto Blue Jays fans. Actually, it’s a sad day for any baseball fan who enjoys watching guys who play the game with unbridled joy, as if they are aware of how lucky they are to be playing baseball for a living. Superstar shortstop Jose Reyes is back from the disabled […]

This Incredible Flip to First Base by Victor Martinez Is Your Baseball Highlight of the Month (Video)
A few years back, it didn’t matter what position Victor Martinez was playing. Catcher, first base, designated hitter—so long as his high-average, high-OBP bat was in the lineup, his manager was content. This year, unfortunately, since returning from the injury that knocked him out for the entire 2012 season, the 34-year-old simply has not been […]

Jays Win 11th in a Row, Munenori Kawasaki Does Victory Dance (Video)
The Toronto Blue Jays entered the 2013 MLB season with the highest of expectations after making several blockbuster moves during the off-season. But just two months in, the Jays were the owners of an embarrassing 23-32 record and many were already labeling them as the league’s biggest disappointment. And then June happened. After going 4-4 […]

Twins Ball Boy Makes Great Leaping Catch (Video)
If you’re a ball boy for a Major League Baseball team, this is the kind of thing you dream about—making leaping catches, saving people from imminent danger, making highlight reels, and maybe getting some insanely hot chick’s digits. Well, during yesterday’s Twins-White Sox game at Target Field in Minneapolis, that dream came true for one […]

Joe Torre’s Daughter Shows Off Baseball Skills, Catches Baby Falling From Building (Video)
Joe Torre always had an eye for talent while managing the New York Yankees to 12 consecutive seasons of playoff baseball, but I wonder if he ever saw anything in his very own daughter. If not, he may have let one slip away from right under his nose, because on Wednesday in Brooklyn, Cristina Torre […]

Kris Medlen Would Like to Remind You that Pitchers Can Steal Bases, Too (Video)
People who prefer American League baseball will tell you their league is better because of the designated hitter. They’ll ask rhetorical questions like, “who wants to watch the pitcher hit?” And they’ll say they want the games to be decided by the players instead of the managers. Of course, to all that, those of us […]

Communication Failure Between B.J. Upton and Little Bro Justin Leads to Outfield Collision (Video)
It’s a shame the Upton brothers aren’t twins. I hear that twins can communicate with each other telepathically, and if Justin Upton and his big brother B.J. Upton could do that, they may have avoided their little collision in the outfield last night simply by thinking, “hey man, I got this.” The Upton brothers are […]

Carlos Gomez Had to Run Up a Hill To Make This Impressive Catch (Video)
Whenever we show you a highlight reel catch from a Major League Baseball game, the only obstacle between the player and the ball is usually distance, and perhaps a wall. You rarely see something like a peak or a valley get in the way of a player trying to make a catch on the diamond, […]
