Did Derrick Rose's Shoes Cause His Knee Injury?

Another Fan's Been Caught Running Onto The Field Of A Major League Game, Except This One's A Little Kid
The rash of streakers at MLB parks continued today on the south side of Chicago, as a young pup undoubtedly fueled by Skittles and apple juice ran onto the field in the top of the seventh inning of today's Orioles-White Sox game.
