Joe DiMaggio’s record 56 game hitting streak ended 73 years ago on Thursday. MLB.com has unearthed this rare radio of DiMaggio talking about the end of the streak, and how a cab driver in Cleveland may have jinxed him by telling him the streak would end. I don’t believe in jinxes, and who knows how […]

The El Paso Chihuahuas have gone ahead and destroyed the “theme jersey” market for all other minor league teams this year. This is horrendous, yet strangely appropriate.

In 1965, Minnesota hosted its first All-Star Game. Tonight, the state hosts its third midsummer classic. MLB released some archival footage of that 1965 game, which features a number of Hall of Famers, including Hank Aaron, Al Kaline, Frank Robinson, Roberto Clemente, and Sandy Koufax. It’s really an awesome piece of history, and I love […]

Yoenis Cespedes successfully defended his Home Run Derby crown at Target Field on Monday night, and he put on quite a show. While smashing 30 homers of the course of the evening, Cespedes defeated teammate Josh Donaldson in a first round swing off, knocked off Adam Jones of the Orioles in the second round, toppled […]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X03_bNuihLU Nike’s Jordan brand has released this Derek Jeter tribute video in advance of his final All-Star Game. The only words spoken in the video are Jeter’s introduction announced by late Yankees PA announcer Bob Sheppard, and the crowd chanting Jeter’s name at the end of the video. The theme behind the video is various […]

Video editing is an incredibly fun way to turn the most basic of videos into something that’s out of this world. Check out this MLB-produced video of Giancarlo Stanton heading into tonight’s Home Run Derby, where he wields Thor’s hammer instead of a bat as he smashes a home run. LIGHTNING! FIRE! EXPLOSIONS! And let’s […]

The Home Run Derby is tonight, and MLB has put together this video of the first career home run of each of the ten participants. There are a lot of bizarre sights in this one, including one foreign ballpark, one ballpark that has been drastically remodeled, one ballpark no longer being used for baseball, several […]

Adam Wainwright has a habit of making hitters look silly. He did that to Carlos Gomez on Saturday, striking him out with this vicious curveball in the fifth inning. After whiffing, Gomez angrily tried to break his bat over his knee three times, eventually just giving up and smashing it on the ground, following that […]

Cubs outfielder Junior Lake isn’t having that great of a year…but he sure has strong knees!

In case you’re wondering, David Price grew up in Tennessee and went to college at Vanderbilt, so he’s not a long suffering Cleveland resident.

I can’t recall ever seeing something like this happen before. In the sixth inning of Thursday’s Cardinals-Pirates game, Edinson Volquez popped up a bunt. Matt Carpenter let the bunt drop in, attempting to turn one out into two. He threw to second in an attempt to get the force on Jordy Mercer, but no one […]

If there was one player on the St. Louis Cardinals you’d call indispensable, you’d probably say that it’s Yadier Molina. Thus, the news that Molina will miss 8-12 weeks due to a torn ligament in his thumb is very bad news for St. Louis. The only other catchers on the Cardinals’ 40-man roster are long-time […]

During Thursday’s Cubs-Reds game, Cincinnati starter Homer Bailey left the game with an apparent knee injury. He immediately began to flex his knee, and it was later revealed that he had pain in his patellar tendon. Well, that’s obviously not a good thing for a team that has lost both Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips […]

This was a pretty scary moment from Wednesday night’s Twins-Mariners game. Eduardo Nunez fouled off a pitch from Brandon Maurer and lost his grip on the bat after the swing. Nunez’s bat then smacked home plate umpire Gabe Morales in the mask. The sound it made was just gross, and I’m thankful that Morales wasn’t […]

During Wednesday night’s Phillies-Brewers game, Kyle Lohse laid down a sac bunt in the fifth inning. He kept the bat in his hands for nearly his entire trek up the first base line, and when he got back into the dugout, we learned why – there was too much pine tar on the bat, and […]
