This Is What Happens When You Try To Bare-Hand A Giancarlo Stanton Homer [Update]
This hand belongs to some poor bastard who attended Monday night's MLB home run derby, where he tried to catch a Giancarlo Stanton tater with his bare hand. Honestly, I'm sort of surprised this hand isn't in worse shape. I mean, have you seen Giancarlo Stanton hit a baseball?...
Derek Jeter And Adam Wainwright Saved The All-Star Game
The silly, silly controversy over whether Adam Wainright gave Derek Jeter "a couple of pipe shots" is a great thing. Not necessarily the act itself, nor the discussion over it, in which people seem upset not that it happened but that Wainwright didn't lie about it, or even the immediate fallout, w...

All 100 Times Jeter's Name Was Mentioned On Fox—And All Zero Of Gwynn's
Lest you forget, Fox was sure to make you aware that this is Derek Jeter's final season in the majors.

Adam Wainwright Had To Apologize For Saying He Grooved A Pitch To Jeter

Here's The Derek Jeter Farewell At The All-Star Game
John Farrell waited for the American League to take the field in the top of the fourth inning so he could remove Jeter from the game and give the crowd a proper chance to send off Jeter. It was a nice moment, Jeter tipped his cap (face) to the crowd, the players, and the coaches. He then went into...
MLB Network Host Told Trout Before Game He'd Triple Home Derek Jeter
MLB Network host Greg Amsinger spoke with Angels slugger Mike Trout during today's pre-game festivities, and jokingly told the All-Star outfielder that he'd come up to bat with Derek Jeter on second base—and hit a triple to drive home the Yankees captain. Sure enough, that's exactly what happened in...
Communist Umpire Ruins All-Star Game On First Play
I'm sorry: is this, or is this not, Derek Jeter's night? Are we not saying farewell to The Captain tonight? Someone better get the umpires on board then, because on the second goddamned pitch of the game, Derek Sanderson Jeter went to his motherfucking left and snagged a rocket off the bat of Andrew...
Derek Jeter And Mike Trout
Derek Jeter and Mike Trout. Derek Jeter and Mike Trout. Derek Jeter and Mike Trout. Derek Jeter and Yasiel Puig and Mike Trout. Derek Jeter and Mike Trout. ...

Are MLB No-Hitters Really Getting More Common?
Tim Lincecum's no-hitter yesterday was the 22nd since 2010 and a walk away from becoming the sixth perfect game in that same time. This makes no-hitters and perfect games sound abnormally common today. So just how much has the frequency of no-hitters and perfect games changed?...
<em>Jeopardy!</em> Vs. <em>Wheel of Fortune</em>: Which One Makes You Feel Dumber?
I am a Thought Leader of Television, and so I've been asked to ruminate on the Big News that Jeopardy!—yeah! the exclamation point! is officially part of the title!—beat Wheel of Fortune in the ratings a coupla weeks ago, the first time in over a decade, and is this perhaps an indicator that maybe A...

The chart above, which come...
