Adam Dunn Pitched In A Game Tuesday Night
If there is a silver lining to a 15-0 game, it's the possibility that you might see something absurd, like watching a bear-man with 457 career home runs pitch in the ninth inning.

Here's Frank Thomas's Emotional HOF Induction Speech
On the other end of the Hall-of-Fame-Speech spectrum, Frank Thomas gave a pretty touching speech today at the Hall of Fame and spent almost the entire time either crying or fighting off the tears.

Jack White, Surly Baseball Fan Dates Back To At Least 2012
This is a hype video for Miguel Cabrera's 2012 triple crown season. There are several well known celebrities and ballplayers in it who say they want to get "Miggy wit it." Like the Will Smith song.

Red Sox Outfielder Jackie Bradley, Jr. Lays Out For A Magnificent Catch
Jackie Bradley, Jr.'s been a lackluster hitter for the Red Sox, but his play in the outfield can make up for it. (His averages will improve with time, anyway.) Bradley's fielding prowess was put on display tonight when he went a long way to rob White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers of a hit....
