Umpire Balk! Bill Miller Goes to Punch Out Batter, then Changes Mind and Calls a Ball (Video)
Every baseball umpire worth his salt has a good punchout move that he busts out after a big strikeout. These little sprinkles of theatricality add character to the game, and pretty much everybody loves them—including the umpires themselves. Unfortunately, from time to time you’ll come across an umpire who loves doing his punchout move a [...]

Baseball Is Back, and So Are the Drunken Dancing Fans (Video)
Drunk dancing baseball fans are back. Thank goodness. Of course, you can see drunk fans dancing like idiots at lots of different sporting events—hockey games, basketball games, football games, you name it. But no sport produces as many drunk dancing fans as baseball. I don’t know what it is. Actually, that’s not true. I do [...]

Shane Victorino Steals Some Peanuts from a Fan (Video)
This past offseason, the Boston Red Sox signed outfielder Shane Victorino to a three-year, $39 million deal. That’s not Josh Hamilton or Zack Greinke money, but $13 million a year is still a pretty nice chunk of change. Divide that total by 365 and that works out to an income of $35,616 per day, which [...]

Rockies Fan Builds Snowman to Keep Him Company During a Cold Double Header at Coors Field (Video)
Just about anyone who has ever spent a few days in Denver, Colorado, knows that they have some of the strangest weather patterns you’ll find anywhere.

Teams Around MLB Pay Tribute to Boston Marathon Bombing Victims by Playing Red Sox Anthem “Sweet Caroline” (Videos)
Since at least 1997, every time the Boston Red Sox play a home game at Fenway Park, Neil Diamond’s soft rock anthem “Sweet Caroline” is played in the middle of the 8th inning. There was no particular rhyme or reason to it at first, but over the years the song became the unofficial anthem of [...]

Ben Revere’s Diving Catch is Something to Behold (Video + GIF)
Most people will probably say that Ben Revere‘s diving overhead catch to rob Todd Frazier of extra bases during yesterday’s game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Cincinnati Reds is an early candidate for “catch of the year” honors. I, on the other hand, would suggest that we just give the dude the award now. [...]

Watch this Pirates Fan Catch a Foul Ball in His Oversized Novelty Baseball Glove (Video)
The 2013 Major League Baseball season is only a couple weeks old, and already we’ve seen some good lessons in what to do and, more importantly, what not to do when a ball comes your way. For example, do catch foul balls in your beer (and then chug it), and do catch home run balls [...]

How Cute!: Young A’s Fan Throws Back His Souvenir Baseball (Video)
Handing a foul ball to a young fan seated nearby seems to be the cool thing to do these days at Major League ballparks. But are these toddlers really all that interested in taking home some dirty baseball that they know absolutely nothing about? To be honest, they probably aren’t any more interested in keeping that ball [...]

Redemption! John Wall Reaches the Plate With His Latest Ceremonial First Pitch (Video)
Remember the last time Washington Wizards guard John Wall threw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Washington Nationals baseball game? How could you forget? The dude, who is known for his ability to dish a basketball with the best of them, became quite the laughingstock after he one-hopped the ball approximately five feet wide [...]

Dodgers-Padres Brawl Leaves Pitcher Zack Greinke with a Broken Collarbone (Video)
Last night the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers gave us the first bench-clearing brawl of the 2013 Major League Baseball season, and it wasn’t one of those half-hearted brawls like the one we saw from the Cubs and Nationals last September. This one left a $147,000,000 pitcher with a broken collarbone, and [...]

Mariners Fan Catches Foul Ball in Beer, Chugs It Down (Video)
Well, it seems like Major League Baseball fans are finally starting to get back into the swing of things now. You’ll recall that, for opening week, they were a little rusty. We saw a dude fall on his head going for a foul ball, and another dude jumping out of the way of a home [...]

Royals Fan Flips the Double Bird (GIF)
The Kansas City Royals have gotten off to a solid start this season, having won five of their first eight games, and each of their first two at home. That has them sitting atop the Central Division as of this afternoon—yeah, I know it’s early—and their early success has also provided the fans in Kauffman Stadium with [...]

Drunk Phillies Fan Gets Branded with Hot Spatula While Tailgating (Video)
Phillies fans are known for being pretty wild, violent, and obnoxious inside the ballpark. However, they do a pretty good job of letting loose outside the ballpark, too. Obviously, I’m talking about their penchant for extreme tailgating. You see, Phillies fans don’t just sit around, drink a few beers and flip some burgers before a [...]
