If This Is How MLB's New Home-Plate Rule Will Be Applied, We Hate It [Update]

Pirates Fan Catches Foul Ball With Exploding Tub Of Popcorn
Here we have a Pittsburgh fan camping out underneath a foul ball off the bat of Cardinals second baseman Matt Carpenter, MacGyvering his tub of popcorn into a glove for an easier grab.

Shirtless Idiot Crashes Pirates' Pierogi Race
During the Great Pierogi Race between innings of last night's Cubs-Pirates game at PNC Park, one fan hopped the fence and took off in hot pursuit of those savory, anthropomorphic dumplings.

Arizona Bro Takes So Many Pepper Balls To Chest Before Being Restrained

We haven't heard much from Madison Rising since they fart-rocked their way through the "Star Spangled Banner" at a NASCAR race, but "America's most patriotic band" has a new mishmash of hot guitar licks and raspy warbles about guns 'n trucks for us to rock out to....
Evgeni Malkin Beats Tampa Bay Lightning
