This one is actually tough to tell, but it seems like at least of those moron Yankee fans interferes with Nelson Cruz’s glove… In any case, it doesn’t end up being THAT controversial because the Yankees got blown out by the Rangers in the game, but it is pretty reminiscient of the Jefferey Maier incident in 1996. Watch the play: continue reading...
He was riding an 0-17 streak and had 51 plate appearances between home runs but Alex Rodriguez finally hit his 600th home run. At 35 years of age he is the youngest baseball player to reach the 600 milestone… not bad. Here is the video: continue reading...

Oakland Athletics pitcher Dallas Braden, the subject of increased (media) scrutiny after his well-publicized jawing match with Yankees superstar Alex Rodriguez (which inspired one guy in my fantasy league to rename his team “GET OFF MY MOUND!”), pitched the 19th perfect game in MLB history on Mother’s Day.
As such, he became something of an overnight sensation, as tossing a perfect game almost completely chumped all the people idiots on all the message boards who were responding to his perfectly legitimate beef with the game’s most arrogant player by saying things like “this guy is a nobody” and “who’s Dallas Braden?” Yesterday, he hopped from the sports pages to the big time, performing David Letterman’s Top Ten list.
