Panthers Somehow Blame Devils Fans For Ruining Rat-Throwing Tradition
Before their 1995 home opener, a rat entered the Panthers locker room—and was promptly killed with a slapshot by Scott Mellanby. The legend took hold, and as Florida made a finals run, the "rat trick" was born. After Panthers goals and wins, fans would throw hundreds of rubber rats onto the ice....

Despite falling behind early, Pittsburgh eked out a 3-2 Game Five win over the Flyers last night, extending the series and forcing a Game Six in Philadelphia tomorrow.

Clearly, Steroids Are Still A Problem In Major League Baseball
Witness the physique of the hero known only as The Mighty K.C., who terrorizes the children who can be found amongst the 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, or 600 fans who are just there, there, at Safeco Field; having done his work, he heads off into the great unknown....
Diamondbacks Fan Catches Foul Ball, Does Not Drop Pizza
This happened Monday night, but it was only brought to our attention today. Let's blame the fact that the Pirates were playing.

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. Unlike previous offenders, he avoided harsh on-field punishment; Wh...

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...

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...

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....
