Wait ... Why Is There A Guy Next To The Mound ... And ... Oh, Jeez, We Give Up
Here's today's pointless, needlessly confusing pseudo sport: The National Xtreme Baseball League, which has two batters, a ton of extra fielders and the potential for 29 people on the field at once. It makes no sense at all, and we feel for the players "interviewed" in the promotional video, most of...
Bobby Cox Likes To Leave Early Sometimes
With Barry Bonds depressingly close to breaking Hank Aaron's record, we turn our eyes to a much more noble and compelling all-time mark: Bobby Cox's quest to beat baseball's ejections record.
