Umpire John Hirschbeck Gets Hit in the Nuts by a Pitch. Again. (Video)
Poor MLB umpires. The only time they ever get an ovation from the crowd is after they get hit in the nuts by a fastball.

Rangers Pitcher Joe Nathan Dressed Up As Tony Romo During Warmups Yesterday (Video)
In recent years, the Cowboys have not been the most successful pro sports team in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. You see, the Mavericks won an NBA Championship in 2011, and of course, the Texas Rangers won back-to-back American League pennants, getting within one strike of a World Series in 2011…twice. Nevertheless, in Texas, [...]

Texas Rangers Fan Challenges Food Vendor to a Dance-Off (Video)
Since the mid-60s, when the Mets introduced baseball’s first mascot, Mr. Met, most teams have tried to provide their fans with some form of non-baseball-related entertainment at the ballpark for when the game itself gets a little boring.

Rangers’ Josh Hamilton Gets A Twizzler From A Fan (Video)
Chasing balls around the outfield during a lengthy four-run inning can cause any outfielder to build up quite the appetite.
