Swarm Of Bees Cause Delay At Coors Field (Video)
There was a buzz surrounding Coors Field during yesterday’s game between the Colorado Rockies and the Arizona Diamondbacks, but it had little to do with the excitement of their high-scoring seesaw battle, which saw the Diamondbacks emerge with a 9-7 victory thanks to a Justin Upton two-run homer in the top of the ninth inning.

Dodgers Justin Sellers Makes Awesome Over-the-Shoulder Basket Catch, Ends Up In Front Row (Video)
Dodgers utility infielder Justin Sellers may only be hitting .193/.282/.287 in limited playing time so far this season, but the rookie sure is trying to make up for the slow start at the plate with a hard-nosed effort in the field. On Monday, he turned in a highlight reel play over at third base so [...]

Kids Throw Out First Pitch Unknowingly to Military Dad at Diamondbacks Game (Video)
Everybody loves a good military homecoming video. You know the ones I mean. They’re all over YouTube. A military mom or dad comes home from Iraq or Afghanistan and surprises their kids at school, summer camp, a spelling bee, a sporting event, or something like that. They sneak up behind the kid, then someone tells [...]

This Day In Sports History (March 9th) – Rays and Diamondbacks
It was on this day in 1995 that Major League Baseball awarded the city of Tampa Bay and the state of Arizona with MLB teams. Tampa Bay would be known as the “Devil Rays” (now known as simply the “Rays”) while the club from Arizona would be called the “Diamondbacks.” Tampa would be placed in [...]

Young D-Backs Fan Shows Some Class, Returns Ball To Younger Fan (Video)
Throughout the course of the 2011 MLB season we have seen baseball fans across America show little class in their attempt to snag foul balls in the stands. Some have dropped or crushed their children while attempting to make a catch, while others have displayed a take-no-prisoners attitude as they barrel everything and anything that [...]

D-Backs’ Stephen Drew Suffers A Nasty Ankle Break (Video)
It goes without saying that ankles are not supposed to bend the way Stephen Drew’s did last night. Standing on second base with one out in the bottom of the fourth inning of yesterday’s game between the Diamondbacks and the Brewers, Drew attempted to make it home on a single to left field, but during [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 7/18/11 — Josh Collmenter
After starting the season with a 4-1 record, Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Josh Collmenter has fallen on hard times, losing his last four decision heading into last night’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers. His last start came against that very same Brewers team, and despite pitching six shutout innings he couldn’t snap his losing streak, coming [...]

The D-Backs’ Wily Mo Pena Spits In His Helmet Before Hitting A Walk-Off Homer (Video)
Heading into last night’s game, the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Wily Mo Pena had only recorded 24 at bats this season. I’m not sure if he spit in his helmet prior to any of those at bats, but he did prior to his pinch-hit at bat last night in the bottom of the ninth with two outs [...]

D-Backs Fan Wrestles Foul Ball From A Lovely Blond (Video)
Sometimes I just don’t get baseball fans. I mean, sure, everyone wants to catch Barry Bonds’ 756th career home run ball, or his 71st home run ball from the 2001 season. That’s understandable, seeing as how you can flip that thing for thousands of dollars on eBay. But what is the big deal about catching [...]

Dad Crushes Kid To Catch A Foul Ball (Video)
Is it really worth diving across a few seats, crushing your son and making him cry, just to catch a foul ball? To this father it was, but at least he came away with a souvenir via the great grab, unlike the dad at the Dodgers game, who dropped both his daughter and the ball [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 4/25/11 — Ian Kennedy
Heading into yesterday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Philadelphia Phillies were supposed to have a significant advantage in the pitching department as they sent Cliff Lee to the mound. Lee would go on to allow four earned runs over seven innings, but he was clearly the second best pitcher in this game. As for [...]

The Stat Line of the Night — 8/1/10 — Adam LaRoche
The Arizona Diamondbacks recently made some big moves as the trade deadline was nearing, but the general feeling is that they were sellers. At 23 games back in the division, there is not much hope for this season. That doesn’t mean a D-backs fan can’t dream, however. Yesterday was a perfect day for an Arizona [...]

Picture Of The Day: This Flasher Is Not Friendly On The Eyes
Ever wonder why some stadiums feel the need to cut off alcohol consumption at times? Perhaps it is an attempt to keep the shirts on the fat chicks. If that is in fact the case, it appears as though they are failing miserably in Arizona, and as a result, several fans were left to suffer [...]

The Stat Line of the Night — 6/29/10 — Albert Pujols
Albert Pujols is one of the best players in the league and some would say one of the best players of all-time. It would be a tough thing to argue against, as Pujols has consistently hit his way to the top of the leaderboards and kept his team competitive even when all has seemed lost. [...]

Longoria And Upton Have A Heated Exchange In Rays’ Dugout
How would you feel if a guy with a stupid looking faux hawk told you how to do your job? If your answer is “pissed off”, then surely you can sympathize with Tampa Bay’s BJ Upton following his heated dugout confrontation with teammate Evan Longoria. The lack of effort put forth by Upton on a [...]
