Phillies Win! Papelbon is Tackling Teammates! (GIF)
The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 Wednesday afternoon thanks to pinch-hitter Odubel Herrera‘s walk-off RBI single in the 10th inning. This made Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon a very happy man. So happy that he just wanted to tackle someone. So he did: #Walkoff at your own risk. http://t.co/4LY2PG5mvF pic.twitter.com/SB3XCXErCE — MLB (@MLB) […]

Reds Fan Runs Onto Field, Escapes Over Outfield Fence (Videos)
Over the years, we’ve brought you plenty of clips featuring people running onto a baseball field and disrupting play. Many of those clips end in the same way—with security tackling the intruder and dragging them away. But every once in a while we’re treated to a great escape. It happened a couple of years ago […]

Gronk and Papi Are Still Putting Out Music for Dunkin’ Donuts (Video)
Gronk and Papi are likely on their third or fourth attempt at a musical collaboration for Dunkin’ Donuts. The bad news is that it hasn’t gotten any better. It may have actually gotten worse. However, the good news is that both they and the brand seem to have become more self-aware, so the videos are […]

Jeff Bagwell Grabs Girlfriend’s Boob on Live TV (Video)
Jeff Bagwell has been retired from baseball for almost 10 years now, but on Tuesday, while seated behind home plate for the Astros’ home contest against the Red Sox, he showed off those smooth hands that helped him win one Gold Glove award (1994) and three Silver Sluggers (1994, 1997, 1999). So, what did he […]

Keith Hernandez Got Loopy During the Mets’ 18-Inning Game (Video)
It’s easy to take for granted, but the fact is that baseball announcers are just doing their job like everyone else. So when a game goes into extra innings, like, EIGHTEEN extra innings as the Mets-Cardinals game did on Sunday, you have to understand that Mets announcer Keith Hernandez would be a little miffed for having […]

Angels Use Helicopter to Dry Field For Doubleheader (Video)
Sunday night’s game between the Los Angeles Angels and the Boston Red Sox at Angel Stadium had to be postponed due to rain, forcing the teams to play a doubleheader on Monday. It was the first time since June 19, 1995, that an Angels home game had been rained out, and it was just the […]

This Brandon Phillips Behind-the-Back Flip Might Be the Defensive Play of the Year (Video)
From 2007 through 2012, the Cincinnati Reds’ Brandon Phillips was among the two or three best defensive second baseman in Major League Baseball. In 2008, at the age of 27, he won both the Gold Glove and the Fielding Bible Award, and he made the first of three consecutive All-Star Game appearances. After that he […]

Cars Burst Into Flames Outside Comerica Park (Video)
Inside Comerica Park on Sunday, the bats of the Baltimore Orioles were on fire, figuratively. Outside Comerica Park that very same day, the cars of several fans were on fire, literally. The former resulted in a 9-3 victory for the Orioles over the Detroit Tigers, while the latter was likely the result of an electrical malfunction, resulting […]

Umpire Breaks Out ‘the Whip’ on Strike Three Call (Video)
Lord knows that umpires take more than their share of grief for the work they do, so you can’t blame them for trying to shoehorn a little fun into what’s otherwise probably a pretty thankless and boring gig. Here, we see ump Carter Gambrell calling a game at Buchanan High School (Clovis, CA), when suddenly […]

Bryce Harper Handed Out a PS4 at the ASG Parade (Video)
I never knew that the All-Star parade was even a thing, so when I learned that it did exist, and that Bryce Harper was there handing out PlayStation 4s to kids in attendance, I was wondering where it’s been my whole life. The 22 year-old slugger was on a “float” (the back of a pickup […]

Rob Manfred’s Bat Was Uncomfortably Close to Erin Andrews’ Private Parts (GIF)
Things got a little awkward during last night’s presentation of the All-Star Game MVP bat to the Los Angeles Angels’ Mike Trout, as MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred dangled the tip of said bat near an off-limits area of Erin Andrews‘ body. It was a rather uncomfortable moment (at least for Erin it was), and you can […]

Pete Rose All-Star Game Appearance: Cincinnati Fans Embrace Disgraced Hit King (Videos)
Rumors of a possible Pete Rose All-Star Game appearance began circulating several months ago, along with talk of a possible limited reinstatement by new Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred. In light of the recent publication of evidence that proves Rose did bet on baseball while still playing, the likelihood of reinstatement of any kind […]

Mike Trout Is Good at All-Star Games: Angels Superstar Is First Back-to-Back All-Star Game MVP (Video)
Winning the All-Star Game MVP Award isn’t necessarily as meaningful as Major League Baseball would have us believe. The best players rarely get more than two or three at bats. The best pitchers rarely pitch more than two or three innings. It’s just not easy to do something truly outstanding in such limited time. Unless, […]

Drake and Hannibal Buress Played Softball for Charity (Video)
While the All-Star softball game took place on Sunday, and might be the premiere amateur softball game of the season, there was a matchup in Houston a while back that sounded like it was a pretty fun one, too. Both Drake and Hannibal Buress got together to play in a softball game during something called […]

Cincinnati’s Todd Frazier Wins Awesome 2015 Home Run Derby, and Here Are All the Highlights (Videos)
On Monday night, MLB debuted a new format for the 2015 Home Run Derby in Cincinnati. Like last year, they used a tournament bracket format instead of a round robin format. But unlike last year, or ever, the rounds were timed. Thus, instead of a set number of outs, each player got a set number of […]
