Kansas City Royals center fielder Lorenzo Cain isn’t much of a power hitter. But he did go yard 16 times during the regular season, and in the fourth inning of Sunday’s ALDS Game 3 with the Astros, Cain absolutely tagged a Dallas Keuchel pitch to put Kansas City in front. Statcast estimated the blast at […]

The Texas Rangers are no strangers to selling ridiculous food items at baseball games. But this…could be a bit much. Cotton candy infused mustard, topped with cotton candy. How do you make a hot dog less palatable? Dump sugar-infused mustard on it and top it with sugar in a different format. The Rangers are also […]
