Recently, I began teaching Evan how to play baseball, starting with hitting. I always loved to be the batter and I assumed he would too. He did, indeed. He became quite good very quickly! Now, we need to work on catching. He's got a real good arm for four-years-old, so he's halfway there.

Jose Bautista, J.J. Hardy and Jason Kipnis each drove in runs, and the American League beat the National League, 3-0, in the 2013 MLB All-Star Game at Citi Field in New York.

We're not quite sure how this happens. This opening pitch thrown by 'Call Me Maybe' singer Carly Rae Jepsen at the Tampa Rays game on Sunday is a colossal failure.

If you've seen an opening pitch better than this, please let us know. At Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, South Korea, rhythmic gymnast* Shin Soo-ji threw this opening pitch.

What says "summer is finally here" better than being smacked repeatedly in the chest by a small child? Lemonade? Sure. The distant jangle of ice cream trucks? Absolutely. Fireworks and BBQ? Okay, fine, we get it. Lots of stuff is more summery than this, but none of those are nearly as funny as the indignation of a child whose father had the audacity to not catch a foul ball that was whiz

Nick LeGrand is a 13-year old baseball player from Kansa City, MO who has a rare blood disorder called severe aplastic anemia. This year he was told he couldn't play his favorite sport, baseball. However, tonight (6/12) he will get to throw out the first pitch at the Oakland Athletics/New York Yankees game. He will do it from 1,800 miles away.

Having your picture taken and taking a picture both require a certain degree of concentration. So when you're taking a "selfie" (and performing both of these tasks at once) you tend to be pretty oblivious to anything else going on around you.

In the '90s baseball classic 'Rookie of the Year,' 12-year old Henry Rowengartner (Thomas Ian Nicholas) really wants to be a major leaguer. The only problem is he's more of klutz than a diamond king.

Even if you're not heading to the movies on Monday or Tuesday, you'll be seeing "42" if you're a Major League Baseball fan. All players and on-field personnel will once again don the No. 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson Day on Monday and Tuesday to mark the 66th anniversary of the Dodger legend's breaking of the color barrier in baseball in 1947...

The bench-clearing brawl this week between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres was one of the biggest and most costly in years. Dodger's pitcher Zack Greinke has a broken collarbone and Padre's hitter Carlos Quinten has been suspended for 8 days. The scrum got us thinking about some of the battles the Red Sox have been involved in. The most notable, Jason Varitek taking down Alex Rodr

We really weren't that excited about baseball season starting until we saw this video. Now we are filled with a burning desire to go to a game, catch a ball in a cup of beer, chug the beer and hold the ball in our mouth.

Baseball season opens today, and one of the things brought to mind by baseball is the classic "Who's on First?" routine made legendary by Abbott and Costello. That timeless routine is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, and is still as funny as when it was first performed...

It’s hard not to wonder if there aren’t at least a few MLB Players out there that peek around the internet to see if their names show up on these lists. So if any of you are reading, I apologize in advance. In my opinion, having a bust of a season doesn’t necessarily mean a player craps the bed...

The term, “sleepers,” is a little bit of a cuss word in the Fantasy Expert circles. Everyone has a different definition of a sleeper, and many people throw the term around loosely. It’s dangerous. You could put an eye out.

Former major league headcase Manny Ramirez is scheduled to arrive in Taiwan on Monday and sign a contract to play with the EDA Rhinos in the China Professional Baseball League, his agent said. No terms have been disclosed.

Saturday's World Baseball Classic game between Mexico and Canada featured one of the longest and most violent brawls that you'll ever see in a baseball game, but no players will be suspended as a result of the melee. Seven players were ejected, but World Baseball Classic officials decided that no players will be further disciplined for their role in the brawl...
