Watch This Drunk Fan At The A’s Game Fall Out Of His Chair (Video)
Very little, if anything, excites me about Major League Baseball in the months of April and May. Just a bunch of teams playing the first 40 games of their 162 game schedule. Should we really care? But with that being said, May is still a great month to head to the ballpark, grab some cheap [...]

Can Someone Explain To Me What Justin Verlander Was Thinking Here? (Video)
With a runner on first and no outs in the bottom of the fifth inning during Saturday’s game against the Oakland Athletics, the mind of Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander seemed to be thinking “pickoff attempt,” while his body was thinking “pitch to home plate.” What would ensue appeared to be a hybrid of both, as [...]

Celebrating Dallas Braden’s Perfect Game With A Tattoo
Okay, so let’s get one thing straight. A tattoo paying tribute to Bobby Orr’s Stanley Cup game winning goal in 1970 is cool.
