College Baseball Player Takes 70 MPH Slider to the Groin (Video)
There are worse things than getting hit in the nuts by a 70 mph slider. For example, you could get hit in the nuts by an 80 mph slider. Or a 95 mph fastball. Or a hockey puck. Or a soccer cleat. Still, my theory is that getting hit in the junk by a 70 [...]

There’s a Kenny Powers Look-alike on the Florida State Baseball Team (Pics)
Nobody sent me the memo, but apparently sports doppelgängers are all the rage this year. First came the Paul MacLean look-alike, then the Evolution of Jagr guys, then the Scott Hartnell twin, and then the Bieber-double at Chase Field. So what’s next in the world of sports look-alikes? How about a Kenny Powers doppelgänger. I [...]

University of Nebraska-Omaha Player Performs Great Escape During a Rundown (Video)
When a baseball player gets caught in a rundown, it is probably fair to assume that about 95% of the time they will get caught, resulting in an out. As for the five percent that get away, four percent are likely the result of an error by a defensive player, while the other one percent is the [...]

Baseball Pitcher Tackles Runner During Play at the Plate (Video)
When we witness a collision at the plate during a baseball game, nine times out of ten we see the player on offense barreling over the player on defense. However, every once in a while we come across a defensive player who appears to be much more interested in being on the giving end of [...]

NC State Center Fielder Brett Williams Makes Incredible Diving Front-Somersault Catch (Video)
The play you are about to see does not look real. In fact, it’s so ridiculous that, if it weren’t from a well-documented NCAA baseball game between two top programs, I probably would have assumed it’s fake. The game? The second of a three-game series between the 10th-ranked NC State Wolfpack and the New Mexico [...]

Sacramento State and UC Riverside Kick Off College Baseball Season with Epic Bench-Clearing Brawl (Video)
Normally college baseball doesn’t make any headlines until June, when the eight best teams in the nation head to Omaha, Nebraska, for the College World Series. It’s not that we don’t like college baseball or anything. It’s just that…well, actually, I guess it is that we don’t like college baseball. It probably has something to [...]

Beach Ball On A String Delays The College World Series (Video)
Omaha, Nebraska isn’t known for their beaches (probably because of the fact that they don’t really have any), but they may soon be known for their beach balls, as hundreds of them were tossed onto the field at TD Ameritrade Park during Game Two of the College World Series yesterday. With Arizona leading South Carolina [...]

San Diego State Pitcher Falls On His Face To The Tune Of Breathe’s “How Can I Fall” (Video)
Watching San Diego State pitcher Cole Swanson fall flat on his face while delivering a pitch during his team’s opening game of the Mountain West Tournament against the TCU Horned Frogs is quite entertaining. What is even more entertaining is watching that very same fall to the tune of Breathe’s “How Can I Fall.” Still [...]

Harvard Baseball Team Sings, Dances to Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” (Video)
If you head on over to YouTube and do a search for “call me maybe,” in addition to the official video from Canadian pop singer Carly Rae Jepsen, you’ll also see several hundred videos of people lip-synching to the embarrassingly catchy tune. I’m not sure why this is such a phenomenon, but there’s even one [...]

Ole Miss Celebrate Home Run With A Beer Shower (Video)
Celebrations following scoring plays have become all the rage in sports like football and soccer, and now it appears as though baseball has finally begun to catch onto the trend. We saw evidence of that during last year’s Little League World Series, and this year it appears as though the Ole Miss student section has [...]

Xavier And Cincinnati Players Brawl At Crosstown Shootout (Video)
If tensions between Xavier and Cincinnati’s men’s basketball teams weren’t already high enough, they seemed to reach new heights during the 2011 edition of the Crosstown Shootout on Saturday. With time winding down and Xavier leading by 23 points, some pushing and shoving in the paint turned into an all-out bench-clearing brawl that saw several [...]

Watch Mike Zunino’s Aluminum Bat Break At The College World Series (Video)
Bats breaking in the Major Leagues is nothing new, but it isn’t often that we see one of those aluminum bats they use in the NCAA snap in half. We were treated to such a sight during today’s semi-final game between Florida and Vanderbilt at the College World Series, as Vandy pitcher Mark Lamm sawed [...]

Many of the fans that show up to the NCAA’s College World Series do so to see some of the best collegiate baseball players in action, but there are those select few that show up just to get a closer look at the lovely Erin Andrews. One of those select few decided to ask Erin [...]

Johnathan Taylor’s promising baseball career appeared to have come to an end on March 6th when he collided with fellow outfielder and close friend Zach Cone during a game against Florida State.

The Gophers’ Luke Rasmussen Give A Great Line-Up Introduction (Video)
If Minnesota Golden Gophers pitcher Luke Rasmussen doesn’t have a future in baseball, he can always try his luck in broadcasting, or comedy. Either would be a good fit for Luke, judging by his presentation of the Golden Gophers’ starting lineup prior to games against the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Penn State Nittany Lions.
