Adeiny Hechavarria Momentarily Saves Game With Great Diving Grab
The Rockies beat the Marlins 5-4 on a walk-off single in the 13th inning Saturday and the only reason it wasn't an inning earlier is because of this play.

This Awkward Report From The Urbana Sweetcorn Fest Is Full Of Lies
Maggie Hockenberry had the unenviable task of up-selling the Urbana Sweetcorn Fest in Urbana, Illinois and every step of the way the camera saw right through her. "Oh my gosh, Amanda.

Red Sox Fan Dives Across His Row For Foul Ball, Doesn't Get It
This Red Sox fan just straight-up dove across half the people in his row trying to get a foul ball like he was a member of the secret service trying to take a bullet for the President.

Twins Rip Tigers 20-6, Get A Couple Homers Off The Shortstop
Andrew Romine came in to pitch the eighth inning for the Tigers in what was then a 17-5 thumping by the Twins.

More Gimmicks <em>The Simpsons</em> Should Consider

Jeremy Maclin, who missed all of last season after blowing out his ACL, went down with a non-contact injury early in the second quarter against Pittsburgh tonight.

Man Brandishes Knife When Golfer Hits Ball Into His Yard

Notre Dame Was Never Special And Never Will Be
Leave it to Notre Dame to take a cheating scandal (if the skylarking of college athletes can even be called a scandal anymore) and somehow use it to buff its own halo. No one does exceptionalism and shabby gentility quite like the Domers, who were always less exceptional and a little shabbier than t...

The guy in the blue Brewers jersey with sunglasses on his head was heading back to his seat holding beers in each hand when he lost both trying to snag a foul ball.

This Giraffe Is Suspicious
This photo is almost certainly fake, but it's fun to believe there's a giraffe that actually looks like this....
Yasiel Puig Has Crazy Reflexes
It should come as no surprise that a gifted athlete like Yasiel Puig, who can do ridiculous things like totally misread a ball yet still manage to catch it and start a double play, cover 95 feet in the outfield nearly perfectly, or...this, would also have cat-like reflexes. Here he is slamming his h...
