Giancarlo Stanton hit in face, carted off field

Awful, awful news from Milwaukee tonight – NL MVP candidate Giancarlo Stanton was hit in the face by a Mike Fiers fastball, and was carted off the field in an ambulance. This footage isn’t for the faint of heart. This is terrible. Stanton is one of the best young players in baseball, and is having […]

Ben Revere’s fielding flub led to an Andrew McCutchen inside the parker

I have no idea what Ben Revere was thinking when he was trying to field this ball off the bat of Andrew McCutchen in the 5th inning on Wednesday. Seriously, what the hell? He wasn’t going to catch the ball, given how high it was hit off the wall. If Revere played it off the […]

Ex-Mets executive alleges firing was because she was “pregnant and single”

Just when you think things are looking up for the New York Mets, a story like this one breaks that makes you weep for humanity. Former New York Mets SVP of marketing and ticket sales Leigh Castergine was fired last month, and is alleging that her firing came about because Mets COO Jeff Wilpon was “morally opposed” to her […]

Vin Scully told Babe Ruth stories on Tuesday

The Dodgers gave away a Babe Ruth bobblehead on Tuesday. It was an odd giveaway, given that Ruth spent nearly his entire career with the Yankees, but he *did* spent 1938 as the first base coach for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Needless to say, Vin Scully had a lot to say about the exceptional career of […]

Miguel Cabrera tosses ball to Calvin Johnson

Between innings of Tuesday night’s Royals-Tigers game, Miguel Cabrera tossed a ball to Lions star receiver Calvin Johnson, who was sitting in the crowd for the game. Oh Miguel Cabrera, is there anything you *can’t* do? Also, Calvin Johnson – pretty good at catching all balls, no matter if they’re pigskin or rawhide.

Blue Jays fan mixes exercise with beer

During Tuesday night’s Cubs-Blue Jays game, this fan at Rogers Centre had the right idea – mix cardio with drinking! Switching hands, taking sips…this fellow is my new hero.

Dodgers defense suddenly regresses to tee-ball level

You can’t watch this clip just once. Nearly half the Dodgers defense share in some part of the blame on this play that saw two runs score on a fly-out to center with runners on first and second.  Along the way, 3 throwing errors from three different players. For a second, I thought Puig was […]

Tigers outfielders collide, leading to Royals inside-the-park HR

Your browser does not support iframes. The box score will read Lorenzo Cain home run off Justin Verlander, but it was really a running catch by Torii Hunter that was jarred loose after a collision with center fielder Don Kelly. As the center fielder, Kelly takes charge, but Hunter still attempted to call him off. Kelly tried to […]

Here’s Vin Scully pleading for some rain at Dodger Stadium

There hasn’t been a rainout at Dodger Stadium since 2000, and there have been only 17 rainouts since the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958. For whatever reason, the Dodgers grounds crew was practicing their tarp rolling skills before Sunday’s game with the Diamondbacks, and Vin Scully used that as an opportunity to educate […]

A minor league ballpark is getting transformed into two mini-golf courses

Today’s awesome story of the day comes to us from Toledo, Ohio, where the Mud Hens (AAA affiliate of the Tigers) are turning their home ballpark, Fifth Third Field, into a pair of mini golf courses, with all proceeds going to charity. Here’s the description of the two courses, courtesy of Sports Turf Manager Jake […]

Casey Janssen grabs foul ball with cap

During the sixth inning of Thursday’s Blue Jays-Rays game at Tropicana Field, Toronto closer Casey Janssen snagged a foul line drive off the bat of Wil Myers. Then, he gave the ball to a fan in the crowd – aw, how sweet. Janssen would save the game in the tenth after Colby Rasmus gave the […]

Joe Mikulik blows up again in Carolina League playoff game

It won’t go down as one of manager Joe Mikulik’s best tantrums, but the Myrtle Beach Pelicans manager had another memorable blow-up with umpires during his team’s Carolina League playoff game with the Salem Red Sox Wednesday night. During the 10th inning of a 1-1 ballgame, Mikulik took issue with the umpires ruling a drive […]

The Yankees ran themselves into a terrible double play

Check out this mess from the first inning of Wednesday’s Red Sox-Yankees game. New York put two men on with one out, looking to jump all over Anthony Ranaudo early on. It didn’t exactly go that way. That double play goes down as 2-6-3-4-5-3…or something like that. Not very captain-like for Derek Jeter to stray […]

Thunder at Tropicana Field scares the hell out of Melky Cabrera

During Wednesday night’s Blue Jays-Rays game at Tropicana Field, we saw something we don’t see too often at a domed stadium – a rain delay. Prior to the delay, a clap of thunder scared the bejeezus out of Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera. Yeah, I think I could watch that a time or two. As for […]

Vin Scully narrates 100-year old woman’s first pitch

Before Wednesday’s Nationals-Dodgers game, a 100-year old woman threw out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium. Vin Scully, in typical Vin fashion, had plenty to say about her pitch. Isn’t he just the best? Hopefully, a 100-year old Scully will be throwing out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium in 14 years.
