Saint Bernard at the Oakland A’s Game Tries to Bite Giants Fan (Video)
In recent years, the poor Oakland A’s have been sort of held hostage by the San Francisco Giants.

Minor League Catcher Obliterates Base Runner During Collision At The Plate (Video)
Remember when San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey broke his leg and ended his season after a brutal home plate collision last year? Everyone was talking about how the MLB has to do something to protect the poor, vulnerable catchers from such plays, including Posey’s own manager, Bruce Bochy. On some level, the argument was [...]

Jays’ Brett Lawrie Leaves Game After Falling Over The Railing At Yankee Stadium (Video)
Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie is easily one of the most energetic, up-tempo players in the MLB today. Sometimes that style of play works in his favor, whether it be via a great fielding play, a stolen base, or even a home run. And at other moments it can work against him, as [...]

Delonte West Has A Terrible Arm (Video)
What is it with basketball players? At times they have no problem draining half-court shots, but they couldn’t throw a baseball five feet if their life depended on it.

Spike Lee Catches Bat Flung Into Stands At Yankees Game (Video)
Remember when the New Yankee Stadium first opened in 2009, and all anyone was talking about was all the empty, $2000 field-level seats visible on TV?

Did Phillies Prospect Jiwan James Make An Insane Bare-Handed Catch Over The Outfield Wall? (Video)
Do you like magic tricks? If so, you’re going to love this play. Recently, Jiwan James, a highly touted prospect in the Philadelphia Phillies farm system—or is it pharm system?—made an absolutely unbelievable over-the-wall catch to rob an opposing batter of a home run.

Check Out Melky Cabrera’s Awkward Interview After Winning The All-Star MVP Award (Video)
Do you know what Melky Cabrera‘s greatest achievement was at the 2012 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night? No, it wasn’t going 2 for 3 with a 2-run home run and winning the MVP award (which came with a brand new 2013 Chevy Camero). It was somehow managing to be more awkward than commissioner Bud [...]

Royals Fans Boo Yankees’ Robinson Cano During Home Run Derby (Video)
In case you were wondering, Kansas City Royals fans hate the Yankees. Actually, hate probably isn’t a strong enough word. Let’s try loath. Or maybe abhor. Anyway, you get the idea. And, after last night’s Home Run Derby at Kauffman Stadium in KC, so does Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano, who was hands-down the most [...]

Kansas City Cop Makes Great Catch While Fan Falls On His Head At MLB Home Run Derby (Video)
It’s always fun to sit in the bleachers at a baseball game. The fans out there aren’t necessarily paying close attention to every pitch, but they know how to have a good time (Pro tip: the secret is to drink a lot of beer). But if you thought hanging in the bleachers for a regular [...]

Two Classy Dads Set Great Example By Brawling, Getting Arrested At Little League Game (Video)
Looking for a good joke? How about this one: What’s the difference between a baseball dad and a pit bull? (Answer: not much.)

Royals Closer Jonathan Broxton Has Some Big Pants To Fill (Video)
Kansas City Royals closer Jonathan Broxton is 1-1 with a 1.99 ERA, and he has successfully converted on 21 of his 24 save opportunities this season. At a whopping 6’4″, 300-pounds, it goes without saying that his absence from the Royals lineup would leave the rest of his team with some rather big shoes pants [...]

Guy Updating Facebook Status At Padres Game Gets Hit In Chest By Foul Ball (Video)
Have you ever looked at the back of your ticket when you went to the baseball game?

Thunder And Lightning Scare The Crap Out Of Rangers And Twins, Halt Game (Video)
Baseball is a game full of sweet sounds. There’s the pop that a good fastball makes when it hits the catcher’s mit. There’s the sound of the umpire calling strike three. And of course, there’s everyone’s favorite—that beautiful crisp crack of the bat when a slugger really lays into one. Not among the sounds you [...]
