Fans At Angel Stadium Exchange Beers, Punches In Fight

Phillies’ Fans Attempt To Distract Cards’ Batters With Laser Pointer

Since When Did Opening Pitches Become So Political?
Total Pro Sports – Since President Barack Obama threw out the opening pitch for the MLB All-Star game, there seems to have been a lot of fire thrown his way from right-wing conservatives regarding his arm strength.
