September 28, 2014 By Nick A.

Well, he didn’t necessarily knock the cover off the ball, but a hit is a hit. Not only did Derek Jeter get a hit in his final at-bat, but he knocked in an RBI… against the Boston Red Sox. You couldn’t have scripted an ending any better than this for the New York Yankees shortstop. […]

You knew Derek Jeter’s last game at Yankees Stadium was going to memorable. You just didn’t know how. The future Hall of Fame shortstop ended his last game at Yankees Stadium the only way he knew how: with a game-winning hit. Coming up in the bottom of the ninth, with just one out against the […]

Yep. A little rain cost Phi Hughes a big payday. The Minnesota Twins starting pitcher was set to receive a $500,000 bonus if he reached 210 innings pitched for the season. The thing is, the pitcher’s last outing was called due to a rain delay and he was pulled. So how close did Hughes come to […]

The Orioles’ Chris Davis Is A Freakin’ Superhero

September 16, 2014 By Nick A.

It’s good to see that Chris Davis is using his time suspended, wisely. Or should I say heroically. The Baltimore Orioles slugger, who’s currently suspended for 25 games, helped to lift an overturned truck off a pinned victim on Monday. Apparently Davis, along with other witnesses, pulled over on a busy highway and helped to […]

Hunter Pence Gets Some Bizarre & Hilarious Taunts

August 6, 2014 By Nick A.

I don’t know what Hunter Pence did to get some of these weird taunts from fans, but I’m glad he did it. It’s easy to taunt a player on the opposing team when he’s an All-Star like the San Francisco Giants outfielder, but the shots that the opposing fans have been taking at Pence lately […]

August 5, 2014 By Nick A.

The New York Mets tried to do something nice for their fans this week. The only problem is, they got more laughs than cheers, especially from Phillies fans. A few days ago, the Mets decided to give away a toy truck to the first 15,000 fans that came to their game. The only problem is, […]

You gotta give major league scouts credit. They can dig up talent anywhere. The Minnesota Twins signed pitcher Brandon Poulson for $250,000, who was playing for the Healdsburg Prune Packers of the Golden State Collegiate Baseball League. I’ve never heard of the team or this league before today and have no idea how the Twins […]

So it’s no secret that Cincinnati Reds pitcher Aroldis Chapman is one of the hardest throwing pitchers in Major League Baseball history.

The Big Hurt shows that even the biggest of men have a soft spot for their family. Today Frank Thomas, along with many other greats, was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

VIDEO: Jeff Francoeur Gets Pranked By His Teammates… Again

July 23, 2014 By Nick A.

I’m beginning to worry about Jeff Francoeur. If you don’t remember, a few months back Francoeur’s teammates pulled off one of the best pranks I have ever seen. His team, the Triple A El Paso Chihuahuas, convinced Francoeur for a very long time that his teammate Jorge Reyes was deaf. Reyes, if you haven’t guessed, is […]
