San Francisco Police Are Looking For Giants Fan Who Trashed City Bus After World Series Victory (Photo & Videos)
So apparently not every San Francisco Giants fan celebrated their team’s World Series victory the other night by detonating fireworks in the middle of a crowded street and nearly blowing their hands off. Some of them opted for more traditional forms of public nuisance-making, like breaking windows and destroying motor vehicles. Unfortunately for those partiers, [...]

Genius San Francisco Giants Fan Almost Blows His Hand Off With Fireworks (Video)
There are lots of great ways to celebrate your team winning the World Series. Dancing, of course, would probably be the safest and most obvious choice.

Here’s An Awesome Photo Of Brandon Crawford 20 Years Before Winning The World Series With The Giants
Only a handful of ballplayers ever get to live out their wildest childhood dreams by winning the World Series. However, even fewer ballplayers get to win the World Series just the way they imagined it—which is to say, with their hometown team. And that makes what we’ve seen the last two seasons all the more [...]

Detroit Pitcher Doug Fister Took A Liner Off His Head…And Stayed In The Game (Video)
Apparently, Oakland A’s pitcher Brandon McCarthy is just a big baby. When he got hit in the head with a line drive back in early September, he had to leave the game. Then he “elected” to have “lifesaving brain surgery” that knocked him out for the rest of the season. Sheesh. Meanwhile, last night in [...]

This GIF Pretty Much Sums Up Game 1 of the World Series for the Detroit Tigers
If you didn’t happen to see Game 1 of the World Series last night, you didn’t exactly miss a classic October baseball game.

The 12 Hottest WAGs of the 2012 World Series
The 2012 World Series gets underway tonight in San Francisco, with Tigers ace Justin Verlander going up against Giants stud Matt Cain. Obviously, with that kind of matchup, and with the way both teams are playing, this could be a pretty awesome series. However, I’m not going to make even the mildest prediction for how [...]

The 13 Greatest Comebacks in MLB Postseason History
Well, last night the San Francisco Giants became only the 12th MLB team to come back from a 3-1 deficit in a best-of-seven series. So the topic for today’s list was a no-brainer: best postseason comebacks in MLB history. It includes all twelve 3-1 comebacks, plus one comeback from a best-of-give series, and while a [...]

Two Bat Boys Were Almost Impaled By A Broken Bat Last Night In St. Louis (Video)
Most people probably don’t realize it, but being a bat boy is one of the toughest jobs in the game of baseball. Sure, it looks like they get to just hang out with ballplayers and hand them equipment, but in actuality, they work somewhere between six and eight hours a day, doing everything from cleaning [...]

Justin Verlander Rubbed The Detroit Trainer’s Bald Head For Good Luck (Video)
When he’s on the field, Justin Verlander seems to have ice-water in his veins. On Tuesday night in Detroit, the Tigers’ ace pitched another gem of a game, going 8 1/3 innings while giving up just three hits, one earned run, and no walks, leaving the game in the ninth with a 2-1 lead. However, once [...]

15 Unlikely MLB Postseason Heroes
One of the best things about postseason baseball is that you get to expect the unexpected. You never know what it will be, but you can count on seeing something completely unpredictable. And the 2012 MLB postseason is certainly no exception. On Friday night, not only did we witness yet another historic comeback by the [...]

The Superstitious Baltimore Orioles Were Trying Anything To Spark A Rally Last Night (Video)
As any baseball fan knows, baseball players are a superstitious bunch. Maybe it’s the day in, day out grind that does it to them. Or maybe it’s all those boring three hour games with ten pitching changes. Regardless, for some reason these guys come up with the strangest rituals and routines. And last night’s game [...]

The 9 One-Game Playoffs in MLB History (Prior to 2012)
In the entire history of Major Leage Baseball, there have only been thirteen occasions in which two teams finished the regular season tied at the top of the standings. Of those thirteen ties, four were settled with a three-game series. The other nine? They were settled with a one-game, winner-take-all, loser-go-home playoff. To the young’ins [...]
