Joe Girardi Wasn’t In The Mood For Being Heckled After Last Night’s Loss To The White Sox (Video)
I’m not sure what kind of operation the Chicago White Sox are running over there at U.S. Cellular Field, but for some reason they make the opposing manager hold his post-game press conference in a public concourse underneath the stands.

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn entered last night’s game against the Minnesota Twins with a league-leading 29 home runs.

Can Bostonians boo US President Barack Obama if he cracks a joke about their Red Sox? YES THEY CAN! For all his other attributes as a politician, Obama knows how to work a crowd. And yet it’s still a little surprising to see him take the bold step of taunting a crowd of Boston residents over [...]

13th Overall Pick in MLB Draft Was So Excited He Did a Backflip (Video & GIF)
Major League Baseball’s amateur draft doesn’t get half the attention that the NFL, NBA, or NHL drafts get. That’s because, for the most part, the draft in baseball is much less of a sure thing.

Snoop Dogg Throws Out First Pitch, Follows It Up By Tebowing (Video)
Snoop Dogg is from Long Beach, California, and he cheers for the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that didn’t seem to stop the Chicago White Sox from thinking that he would be the perfect celebrity to throw out the opening pitch prior to yesterday’s game against the Minnesota Twins.

This New Era Commercial Explains The White Sox-Cubs Rivalry To A Tee (Video)
Despite the fact that the Chicago Cubs find themselves in the National League, while the Chicago White Sox play in the American League, these two Windy City franchises have been able to keep their bitter rivalry alive and well throughout the years.

Was it a 3-2 count? Or a 2-2 count? That was the question home plate umpire Gary Cederstrom was left asking himself during Adam Dunn’s at bat last night.
