2 weeks ago We hear a lot of stories about spoiled athletes dissing fans and exhibiting crude and uncivil behavior. That's why the actions of Los Angeles Dodgers star Matt Kemp stand out as an example true class. He was made aware of a disabled fan in the stands and made a beeline to his seat after the game. What he did next is truly amazing.
3 weeks ago It was quite a night at Dodger Stadium for the Korean community of Los Angeles Tuesday night. Dodger pitching sensation Hyun-Jin Ryu, a Korean, was on the mound and pop star Psy of Gangnam Style fame, another Korean, was invited to perform a short dance segment. Former Dodger manager Tommy LaSorda may have been impressed by Ryu but was something less than awed by Psy. Check out the hilarious video and Tommy's reaction.

April 13, 2013 It's fun to look at how Major League Baseball teams treat the "7th inning stretch", a time when fans can get up and stretch, get rejuvenated and most importantly get back in the game. If you've never been to Yankee Stadium, here's how they do it.
April 4, 2013 Over the years, I've been to a few Major League Baseball games, from Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium to Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. In my opinion, there's nothing like being there. Baseball on TV can be a slow-moving game, with camera's generally focused on the pitcher/batter, and wherever the ball is hit. But, when you're at the ballpark, you see all that's going on.
March 12, 2013 Maybe she wasn't paying attention. Maybe she didn't know the rules. Whatever the reason the ball girl at a recent Rays-Phillies exhibition game in Florida fielded--expertly I might add--a fair ball. Okay, her full time gig is a server at Hooter's but before the jokes begin to fly let's point out that she realized her mistake almost immediately. Check out the action.
March 6, 2013 Spring has to be in the air as baseball season is on the way. On the college baseball scene, we've discovered a pitcher who can play football while playing baseball.
February 18, 2013 My wife and I were down in Fort Myers last week and she--being a huge Boston Red Sox fan--insisted we go and watch the team work out and take batting practice while we snapped some pics. The talk of the camp though was about Sox prospect Bruce Brentz who has had to sit out spring training after shooting himself in the leg while (supposedly) cleaning his gun. You think that ballplayer injury was weird? Check these out!
February 13, 2013 A sure sign of spring and warmer weather is the arrival of spring training in Major League Baseball. Most teams got their first spring workouts yesterday and today. Pitchers and catchers arrived earlier this week, with the full roster of players about to join them.
For the first time since 1996 the Baseball Writers' Association did not vote a new player into the Hall of Fame. Wednesday's ballot included controversial stars such as Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, and Sammy Sosa.
Marco Scutaro's line drive single scored Ryan Theriot with the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th inning, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Detroit Tigers, 4-3, on Sunday night in Detroit to complete a four-game sweep of the 2012 World Series.
According to an ESPN report Alex Rodriguez could be on his way out of New York this offseason. After struggling throughout the playoffs the Yankees and Rodriguez may part ways. Rumors have A-Rod heading south
