The Marlins Finally Hit A Home Run In Miami, And So We Got To See Their "Sculpture" In Action
It took a few weeks, but the Miami Marlins finally have a home run in their new ballpark (thanks to Omar Infante in the first inning of today's game against Houston) which means we've gotten our first glimpse at that wonderful center field structure in action... and now we've seen it. Back to wor...
This Young Pens Fan Brought Her Teddy Bear To Last Night's Game. The Bear's Name? "Miller Lite."
Kids give their stuffed animals crazy names. When I was little, I had a stuffed bunny named "Ted Kennedy." So maybe I shouldn't be too shocked that this young fan, interviewed in Pittsburgh before last night's Pens-Flyers matchup in the Stanley Cup playoffs, has a bear named "Miller Lite." Some sh...
C.J. Wilson Says The Rangers Wasted His Time
Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Wilson says Texas can spend their money any way they want, but they shouldn't string him alo...
This Texas Rangers Fan Can Do Amazing Things With Her Mouth
And yet this is still only the second-weirdest face ever to appear in the background behind erstwhile sideline reporter Jim Knox. (This would be the weirdest.)...
Josh Hamilton Launched His Bat Into The Stands, And A Fan Caught It On The Fly
It's the refrain of unimaginative baseball broadcasters whenever a fan makes a nice foul ball catch: "Sign that guy to a contract!" I'm not sure what the proper response is when a fan catches a bat that's been weaponized by the big swing and poor grip of Josh Hamilton, but if you were expecting t...
Peter Bourjos Has Our First Inside-The-Park Homer Of The Season
The world record for fastest run around the bases is held by Evar Swanson, who did it in 13.3 seconds back in 1929. Peter Bourjos of the Angels came within a second of that tonight, and he thought he might've flied out to the warning track. Instead, Josh Willingham took a tumble and Bourjos came ...
Why Yes, This Human-Chicken-Squid Hybrid Is A Cubs Fan
Ronnie Tomaszewski was skipping yet another of his classes at North Park University when he remembered it was Thursday already and he was a bit short on cash for what was sure to be a big weekend of partying. A few of his fraternity brothers had testified to the easy money of that old college stand...
Here's A Rangers Fan Doing The Sprinkler After Catching A Josh Hamilton Home Run Ball
While Yu Darvish has been underwhelming in his American debut (five earned runs in five innings so far) Rangers fans have been entertained by the boom sticks, with Nelson Cruz, Mitch Moreland and Josh Hamilton going deep already. We were impressed by the hip-thrusting celebration after Cruz's hom...
It Will Be Hard, But Not Impossible, To Get Drunk At The Blue Jays' Home Opener
A reminder to Blue Jays fans that you should probably get hammered before going through the turnstiles tonight, as the Rogers Centre will be severely curtailing beer sales since you've proven you can't hold your alcohol. Look at you. You're a drunken sloppy mess and you're never going to make anythi...
Here's How Four Broadcast Teams Described The Orioles Streaker On Friday
The ad hoc policy to not televise fans who run onto the field during baseball games is intended to discourage copycats, though its effectiveness is debatable at best. Yet while viewers may be blind to the rogue fan's activities, announcers can't resist providing their own take on the action....
Augusta National's Gallery Reacted Beautifully To Bubba Watson's Missed Putt In Sudden Death
While Bubba Watson's Masters championship will be remembered best for his miracle shot from the pine straw, it's worth recalling that he actually missed the putt to win on 18 in the first sudden death hole of his playoff with Louis Oosthuizen....
Derek Holland's Hairstyle This Season Is Simply Absurd
WARNING: Do not look at this picture if you have a fear of clowns. Ah, shit. You already looked, didn't you? Sorry about that....
Boston College Is Your NCAA Hockey Champion, Though This Fan Passed Out Before The Game Was Over
Boston College dispatched Ferris State 4-1 to win tonight's NCAA Division I hockey championship in Tampa, and we wish the Eagles and their fans a hearty congratulations on their third title in five years. We don't know whether to congratulate or be concerned for this fan, though, who appears to h...
Peanuts, Cracker Jack, And Chaw: This Young Rangers Fan Is A Spitting Image Of Dad [UPDATE]
It's just a few days into the baseball season, but we're already reminded that some of the best action takes place in the stands, not on the field. Here's an example, as a young Rangers supporter takes after his father both in physical resemblance and, it appears, in the use of smokeless tobacco....

Camden Yards Streaker Was Clad In Undies And A Cape [Update: It May Have Been Batman]
Videos and photos are emerging from today's Orioles game that shows what may have been the introduction of Charm City's newest crusader for justice. Or maybe just a drunk kid who had a cape in the garage. Baseball's back!...

Pirates Fan Sleeps His Way Through Opening Day
Yesterday was the start of a new season of baseball in Pittsburgh, and that means the promise of another 90-loss summer. The fan in the yellow hat just over the left shoulder of Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz just couldn't contain his excitement....
Mets Announce Largest Crowd In Citi Field History, Apparently Counting Empty Seats As Fans
The Mets' announced attendance of 42,080 is the largest in the three-plus years of Citi Field. This is a stunning turnaround from this morning, when thousands of tickets were still available. And an even more stunning turnaround from earlier in the game, when it sure as hell looked like there were a...
At Least One Marlins Fan Wasn't Happy Karl Ravech Insulted Their Centerfield Home Run Sculpture
ESPN would come to regret their sarcastic take on the Marlins' new digs—"center field home run thing" being one of Ravech's phrases—but the Worldwide Leader should count their blessings. After all, Miamians have been known to react a bit more violently to perceived slights; a dude flipping his midd...
Dog Eats Man's Masters Tickets, Man Induces Dog To Puke, Man Pieces Tickets Back Together
That was pretty much the scenario for Russ Berkman of Seattle. Berkman had four tickets to tomorrow's practice round at Augusta National. But his dog, Sierra, ate them, leaving behind nothing but the strings they were attached to. Here's Devil Ball Golf, which wrote up Berkman's interview with Seatt...
