Biebs at the Ballpark: D-Backs Broadcasters Can’t Get Enough of These Justin Bieber Doppelgangers (Video)
The real Justin Bieber is performing in Europe this week, but we won’t blame anyone for believing that he was at Chase Field on Tuesday watching the St. Louis Cardinals take on the Arizona Diamondbacks. The D-Backs broadcasters nearly made that mistake, as they were fooled by a pair of Bieber look-alikes (Big Biebs and Little [...]

27 Baseball Fail GIFs
The 2013 Major League Baseball season is upon us, which means you can once against savor the smell of hot dogs and the crack of the bat. It also means we can once again feast our eyes on towering home runs, diving catches, and crisp double plays. However, you’ll be seeing none of that here. [...]

Crazy Blue Jays Fan Throws Bat Into Cleveland Indians Dugout (Video)
I knew Blue Jays fans were jacked up about the start of a very promising baseball season, but I had no idea they were this intense. At last night’s home opener in Toronto, the Blue Jays hosted the Cleveland Indians. In just the top of the first inning, the Tribe’s number three hitter, second baseman [...]

Diamondbacks Fan Dodges Home Run Ball, Lets It Hit His Girlfriend in the Head (Video & Gif)
We’ve already shown you one example today of how baseball fans are still a little rusty just a few games into the season. How about another? At last night’s Diamondbacks-Cardinals game at Chase Field in Arizona, Redbirds shortstop Pete Kozma blasted a home run off Heath Bell into a picnic area in the top of [...]

This Day In Sports History (April 2nd) – MLB Players Strike
It was on this day in 1995 that the Major League Baseball players’ strike officially came to an end. The strike lasted 232 days and was responsible for the cancellation of over 900 games. The strike began on August 12th 1994 due to the fact that the owners wanted a salary cap to protect the [...]

Lehigh Valley IronPigs to Install “Urinal Gaming System” in Ballpark Restrooms (Video)
Minor league baseball teams are always coming up with wacky promotions. Last year the Lowell Spinners, single A farm team for the Boston Red Sox, had Boston Bruins star and eligible bachelor Tyler Seguin come in and do some speed dating during a game. A few years back, the very same team entertained the crowd [...]

Phillies’ Hooters Ball Girl Nearly Run Over by Yankees’ Ronnier Mustelier (Video)
You wouldn’t think that anyone would ever complain about Hooters girls getting in the way too often, but the MLB may soon change that. Last week we saw one of the Philadelphia Phillies’ Hooters Ball Girls scoop up a fair ball and toss it into the stands. As for the latest instance of Hooters Ball Girl [...]

Seagulls Crashed Last Night’s World Baseball Classic Semi-Final at AT&T Park (Video)
Humans don’t seem to be all that interested in the World Baseball Classic. Attendance at last night’s semi-final between the Netherlands and Dominican Republic proves just that, as less than two-thirds of the seats at AT&T Park in San Francisco were filled for the event. So yeah, us humans may not be captivated by the WBC, but [...]

12 Things You Should Know About the World Baseball Classic
The 2013 World Baseball Classic is going on right now on two different continents, but many North American sports fans aren’t really paying much attention to it. Why? Well, there are probably a number of good reasons. First, casual hardball fans probably aren’t ready for competitive baseball in March. We call ball players “the boys [...]

Hooters Ball Girl Picks Up Fair Ball, Gives it to a Fan (Video)
It seems as though every year, you can count on us to provide our readers with at least one update on the Hooters ball girls that can be seen patrolling the foul grounds during Philadelphia Phillies spring training contests. For the first few years, it seemed as though everyone was impressed with these ball-chasing beauties, [...]

World Baseball Classic Brawl: Canada Throws Punches With Mexico (Video)
If you were under the impression that nobody cares about the World Baseball Classic, think again. While it is true that the casual American baseball fan might not care that much about the tournament (or even know that it exists), many of the players take it very, very seriously. And as evidence of this, we [...]

Dick’s Sports Goods and Louisville Slugger Provide a Behind-The-Scene Look at the Art of Crafting a Baseball Bat (Video)
After watching a batter smack a 400-plus foot homer out of the park during a baseball game, most people tend to focus on the batter’s abilities (i.e. his power, hand-eye coordination and bat speed, to name just few). But what about the bat itself? You see, while it is the batter that gets most of [...]

The 9 Worst Performances of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” at Wrigley Field
The Chicago Cubs recently announced that they have decided to pull the plug on a Wrigley Field tradition: celebrity guests singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during the 7th inning stretch. The reason? Well, I think ostensibly it’s to return to the more old-fashioned ballpark traditions and make the games less about out-of-town [...]

Baseball Pitcher Tackles Runner During Play at the Plate (Video)
When we witness a collision at the plate during a baseball game, nine times out of ten we see the player on offense barreling over the player on defense. However, every once in a while we come across a defensive player who appears to be much more interested in being on the giving end of [...]

NC State Center Fielder Brett Williams Makes Incredible Diving Front-Somersault Catch (Video)
The play you are about to see does not look real. In fact, it’s so ridiculous that, if it weren’t from a well-documented NCAA baseball game between two top programs, I probably would have assumed it’s fake. The game? The second of a three-game series between the 10th-ranked NC State Wolfpack and the New Mexico [...]
