I had just stopped watching the White Sox/Orioles game when I noticed this tweet pop up on one of my columns on Tweetdeck: A small child was just running around in left field. He’s being carried off by security. No tackling or tasering. That was bizarre. — Brittany Ghiroli (@Britt_Ghiroli)

On Saturday, April 21, at 9 p.m. ET, SHOWTIME is airing a special 30-minute preview of ‘The Franchise: A Season with the Miami Marlins’. Like last year’s with the San Francisco Giants, it’s going to feature exclusive behind-the-scenes coverage of the newly minted Marlins, both on and off-the-field.

Rick Ankiel used to be a pitcher until he had a mental breakdown in the 2001 playoffs and was completely done with pitching by the time he was 25-years-old. Sad story. But despite no longer being a hard-throwing lefty from the bump, Ankiel still has one of the best, most accurate and fun arms to […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers walked off on Sunday against the San Diego Padres, but they got a little help from one of the oddest triple plays you’ll ever see in the top of the 9th inning, as if triple plays weren’t weird enough. Take a look at the most disastrous sacrifice bunt unfold as Vin Scully […]

Freddy Garcia made his 2012 debut on Tuesday night for the New York Yankees against the Baltimore Orioles and did something only seven other pitchers have done in the history of baseball: throw at least five wild pitches.

Former MVP and nine-time All Star charged with physical and verbal assault of a police officer and is currently in custody. The 37-year-old had to turn himself in to authorities after an all-points bulletin was issued and

By ‘this,’ I mean start the season 0-3, according to the MLB. Oh, the horror: It may be only three losses, but for just the second time in Major League history both the Yankees and Red Sox are 0-3 after each team was swept in its season-opening series. The only other time the two American […]

A sharply hit groundball to Miguel Cabrera at third during today’s Tigers-Phillies spring training game took a nasty hop up into his face. Cabrera was left bloodied and forced to exit the game. We have video (via Guyism):  1.) Ouch. 2.) IN THE FACE. Cabrera was taken to a nearby hospital where

Ozzie Guillen was ejected from today’s Grapefruit action for arguing a call. Hey, it’s Spring Training for fiery managers, too, you know. But that’s not where this story ends. Apparently, after Guillen was headed for the showers, the opposing manager, who just happened to be Bobby Valentine, provided Guillen with sort of a ‘you’re dismissed’ […]

The DETROIT TIGERS just signed Prince Fielder to a nine-year deal for “I don’t care how much,” but let’s flash back to a time when Prince Fielder was just a little chubby kid riding the coattails of his Big Daddy, Cecil Fielder, who, you know, hit a lot of home runs for the Tigers in […]
