Sammy Sosa, Back Before Everybody Hated Him
We just stumbled across this old video for Sammy Sosa's High Heat, a 2001 video game that's "so reeeeeeal." In light of Sosa's recent resurgence, and his gallop toward his 600th homer, we thought you might find it amusing....

The End Of An Online Sports Legend
Back before we started this site, when we were just thinking about it, we scoured the Internets to see which sports sites, we thought, were doing it right, sites we'd want to pattern ourselves after. One of the first ones we loved was Batgirl, author Anne Ursu's playful, cute and hilarious ode to al...
Tom Verducci Really, Really Wants To Play Baseball
You might remember, from a couple of years ago, when Sports Illustrated baseball guru Tom Verducci played for five days with the Toronto Blue Jays during spring training.

Shane Victorino And His Skirt Can Be On Your Dashboard
Pity poor Shane Victorino. The Phillies outfielder/journeyman is being honored with his own figurine at a Phillies game on June 3, which has to be a thrill for any major league baseball player. (It was certainly a thrill for Mr. Celery!) Why Shane Victorino? Well, he's Hawaiian, and that makes him u...
That's One Way To Sell A Condo
We don't know Alabama well enough to understand the real estate market, but it's little surprise that one of the main selling points in Tuscaloosa is proximity to Bryant-Denny Stadium, home of the Crimson Tide. And it turns out that a condominium company is using a peculiar strategy to sell their ho...
Hey, What Else You Gonna Do With A Full Beer?
Sometimes, when a ballgame at Dodger Stadium is wrapping up, one has no choice but to pour beer on one's self. Fortunately, she can take that famed Chavez Ravine subway home....
Hello, SPORTS FAN, Allow Us To Tell You About LOCAL SPORTS FRANCHISE
We understand that the WNBA is doing everything in its power to increase its fanbase or, more accurately, survive. One of the keys to this: Making sure "mainstream" media outlets cover the team in their pages. But team public relations people can only do so much. Enter form letters fans can send to ...

Andy Roddick Is Not That Jacked Up
Last week, TMZ pointed out that the new cover of Men's Fitness featured a suspiciously pumped-up Andy Roddick. Well, Roddick himself has chimed in, in that wonderful English we've come to love and expect from our professional tennis players....
A-Rod Digs Deep Within
We were at the Yankees-Red Sox game last night, and noticed something that, finally, someone has clearly pointed out: Alex Rodriguez fiddles with his cup more than anyone else in baseball....
Tyler Clippard, Dane Cook Fan
Yankees fans rejoiced — well, maybe rejoiced was the wrong word — when rookie Tyler Clippard avoided a sweep at the hands of the Mets on Sunday night. And, as Newsday pointed out yesterday, it brought all kinds of new friends to Clippard's MySpace page. So we're happy to send a few more over....
JoePa Will Put Your Ass To Work
We love Joe Paterno. Whereas many coaches would discipline their players for a campus fight by suspending them or — more likely — not doing anything at all, the Penn State legend is forcing them to clean the inside of the stadium....
