Stat Line of the Night — 6/4/2013 — Yasiel Puig
Yasiel Puig has been quite the revelation for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Nearly one year after signing a seven-year/$42-million deal, the 22-year-old Cuban made his first start for the Dodgers on Monday, and he helped them secure the victory by doubling off the Padres’ Chris Denorfia at first with a frozen rope from deep right [...]

Mikhail Youzhny Takes His Frustration Out On a Tennis Racket at the French Open (Video)
Unless you’re a very serious tennis fan, you probably haven’t heard of Mikhail Youzhny. The 30-year-old Russian is currently the #26 player in the world, and his highest ranking was #8 back in 2008. So he’s not exactly a household name. That’s kind of a shame, though. The guy is about as entertaining a personality [...]

Paul Bissonnette Reunites Tourist with Lost Wallet by Tweeting Picture of It (Video)
Most of the time, if you lose your wallet while on vacation, it’s gone for good. However, one lucky dude recently caught one hell of a break while vacationing in the greater Phoenix area: his lost wallet was found by a dude with 400,000 Twitter followers.

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 [...]

Boxer Taunts Opponent, Promptly Gets Knocked Out Cold (Video)
I’m not a boxing expert or anything, but I imagine one of the cardinal rules of the sport would have to be something like, “when you have your opponent on the ropes, don’t let up in order to taunt him.” Unfortunately, nobody ever told this to Miguel Zuniga, and he’s obviously not one of our regular [...]
