MLBWeird But True

This Is A Minor League Home Run Derby With Obstacles In The Outfield and Partiers on the Infield

Home Run Derby Beach Infield Sand Party

Earlier this month, the Reading Phillies minor league baseball team held an all-star game featuring a home run derby. That’s pretty standard, but this derby featured obstacles in the outfield and partiers on the infield. Video, sans death-by-baseball-to-the-dome, after the jump.

Apparently The Home Run Derby Is Worth Getting Into A Fistfight Over

We wouldn’t want to say fans getting in fights in the stands at games is understandable, exactly, since more often than not, those who get in said fights are fake-tough idiots. But generally, there’s some reason, however dumb, that it happens. But at the home run derby?

George Brett Was Impressed Futures Game Participants Didn’t Have “Little Poopies In [Their] Pants”

It’s an obvious reference to make (indeed, NESN made it too), but… what is with (warning: wear headphones for this one) George Brett’s fascination with pants-pooping?

Drunk Man Shows America How Not To Grab A Home Run Ball

If this guy isn’t smashed, we must apologize. We are sorry… that you are naturally so uncoordinated. But chances are good that this Kansas City-area man had one too many and then tried to lean over the wall to grab a Mark Trumbo homer. As you can guess, nothing good came of that tactic. Video after the jump.

Kansas City Sure Was Pissed At Robinson Cano During The Home Run Derby

Defending Home Run Derby champion Robinson Cano was captain of the American League squad tonight, and he chose Prince Fielder, Mark Trumbo and Jose Bautista as his lumber-mates over Kansas City slugger Billy Butler. That, as Cano found out, was a big mistake, and he would regret it. Video after the jump.

Heroic Man Catches Ball In Front Of Pretty Girls, Falls In Pool, Keeps Beer Above Water

Dude. A 26-year-old fan named Mike Moon caught one of runner-up Adrian Gonzalez’s long balls at last night’s Home Run Derby — and may have come away with a few phone numbers as well, making a diving catch into the Chase Field swimming pool. Slow clap.

“Hey Bro, Remember That Time I Almost Died?”: Fan Almost Falls Over Fence Going After Home Run Derby Ball

During the second round of last night’s Home Run Derby, Keith Carmickle and his friends got greedy. They had already snagged home run balls from eventual finalists Robinson Cano and Adrian Gonzalez, and when Prince Fielder came to the plate, they wanted to snag another.

So a barefoot Carmickle got on top of a narrow table 20 feet above a right field pool deck. Which would have been a dumb idea to begin with. But when you throw in the fact that, just last week, a firefighter in Texas named Shannon Stone fell to his death after tumbling over a Major League fence, and it was really dumb.
