This Brawl Made Preseason Baseball at the Alamodome Less Boring (Video)
Last weekend, just before the regular 2013 MLB season began, the Texas Rangers and San Diego Padres played a couple of exhibition games in a very interesting location: the Alamodome in San Antonio. If you’re familiar with the Alamodome then you’re probably thinking, “hey, that’s not big enough for a baseball field, is it?” And [...]

Crazy Blue Jays Fan Throws Bat Into Cleveland Indians Dugout (Video)
I knew Blue Jays fans were jacked up about the start of a very promising baseball season, but I had no idea they were this intense. At last night’s home opener in Toronto, the Blue Jays hosted the Cleveland Indians. In just the top of the first inning, the Tribe’s number three hitter, second baseman [...]

Diamondbacks Fan Dodges Home Run Ball, Lets It Hit His Girlfriend in the Head (Video & Gif)
We’ve already shown you one example today of how baseball fans are still a little rusty just a few games into the season. How about another? At last night’s Diamondbacks-Cardinals game at Chase Field in Arizona, Redbirds shortstop Pete Kozma blasted a home run off Heath Bell into a picnic area in the top of [...]

Jays Fan Makes a Terrible Attempt at a Foul Ball (Video)
Major League Baseball players go through six long weeks of spring training, and they still show up on opening day a little rusty, booting grounders and misreading fly balls. The fans? They don’t get spring training. Well, actually, I guess they do if they take a vacation to Florida or Arizona and take in a [...]

A Couple of Blue Jays Fans Got a Little Too Handsy at the Home Opener (Video)
The Toronto Blue Jays created a lot of hype when they made that megatrade with Miami back in November that shipped the majority of the Marlins’ talent north of the border. In a single move, a team that already had a decent foundation of talent became what some were calling the World Series favorites. Then [...]

Sandy Koufax Throws Out Opening Pitch at Dodger Stadium…In Relief of Magic Johnson (Video)
I’ve seen a lot of ceremonial first pitches in my day, including not one but two by a guy who doesn’t even have arms. Nevertheless, the one from yesterday’s Opening Day tilt between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium is already one of my favorites. You see, the Dodgers pulled [...]

Philly Phanatic Makes Out with Hot Philadelphia Traffic Reporter on Live Television (Video)
Everybody loves the Philly Phanatic. He’s one of the greatest mascots in the history of sports, and he’s always doing something interesting. However, it’s no secret that the Philly Phanatic is kind of a perv who tends to do questionable things in the presence of attractive young women. Well, the Phanatic recently stopped by the [...]

Lehigh Valley IronPigs to Install “Urinal Gaming System” in Ballpark Restrooms (Video)
Minor league baseball teams are always coming up with wacky promotions. Last year the Lowell Spinners, single A farm team for the Boston Red Sox, had Boston Bruins star and eligible bachelor Tyler Seguin come in and do some speed dating during a game. A few years back, the very same team entertained the crowd [...]

Phillies’ Hooters Ball Girl Nearly Run Over by Yankees’ Ronnier Mustelier (Video)
You wouldn’t think that anyone would ever complain about Hooters girls getting in the way too often, but the MLB may soon change that. Last week we saw one of the Philadelphia Phillies’ Hooters Ball Girls scoop up a fair ball and toss it into the stands. As for the latest instance of Hooters Ball Girl [...]

Seagulls Crashed Last Night’s World Baseball Classic Semi-Final at AT&T Park (Video)
Humans don’t seem to be all that interested in the World Baseball Classic. Attendance at last night’s semi-final between the Netherlands and Dominican Republic proves just that, as less than two-thirds of the seats at AT&T Park in San Francisco were filled for the event. So yeah, us humans may not be captivated by the WBC, but [...]

Hooters Ball Girl Picks Up Fair Ball, Gives it to a Fan (Video)
It seems as though every year, you can count on us to provide our readers with at least one update on the Hooters ball girls that can be seen patrolling the foul grounds during Philadelphia Phillies spring training contests.

World Baseball Classic Brawl: Canada Throws Punches With Mexico (Video)
If you were under the impression that nobody cares about the World Baseball Classic, think again. While it is true that the casual American baseball fan might not care that much about the tournament (or even know that it exists), many of the players take it very, very seriously. And as evidence of this, we [...]

Dick’s Sports Goods and Louisville Slugger Provide a Behind-The-Scene Look at the Art of Crafting a Baseball Bat (Video)
After watching a batter smack a 400-plus foot homer out of the park during a baseball game, most people tend to focus on the batter’s abilities (i.e. his power, hand-eye coordination and bat speed, to name just few). But what about the bat itself? You see, while it is the batter that gets most of [...]

Joe Mauer, a.k.a. Mr. Twin, Is Having Twins!
We already knew that Joe Mauer was Mr. Minnesota. The guy played baseball, basketball, and football for Cretin-Derham Hall High School in Saint Paul and became the first person ever to be selected as USA Today’s High School Player of the year in two sports—football in 2000, baseball in 2001. But of course, he turned [...]

Double Anthem Fail: Singer Botches Both American and Canadian National Anthems (Videos)
It’s not uncommon for national anthems to get butchered at sporting events. Often, this seems to happen because the person singing an anthem isn’t actually from that country—like the guy who sang “O Canada” before a CFL game in Vegas back in 1994. And sometimes singers will even botch the anthem of their home and [...]
