This is why I love YouTube. All hand-farting videos aside. As far as I know this is the only video documenting a fan’s reaction as it happened. If you didn’t already know, Armando Galarraga of the Detriot Tigers was screwed out of a perfect game thanks to a shoddy call by umpire Jim Joyce with two outs in the ninth inning. The real magic starts at about 3:15, but the whole video is worth watching for the build-up. This is... Continue reading

If I was Ken Griffey Jr., I’d be furious. You have to throw a promotional day this awesome the day after I announce my retirement? Why am I always over-shadowed? Why couldn’t we have Cheezburger Day just a week earlier? Hell, even a day earlier would have done just fine. Spectators attending tonight’s game will receive a free “Happy Cat Bobblehead Doll,” complete with I Can Haz meme lettering to celebrate everybody’s favorite internet phenomenon. Link

Featuring nearly every major non-human or costumed characters, these Star Wars New Era Fitted Caps are a stylish alternative to that plain old Yankees cap you’ve been rocking since junior high. It’s totally understandable, you like to keep the sun out of your eyes whenever you happen to get a pick-up game of baseball going, but please, for the love of nerds, please at least do it with geek cred on your mind.

With the iPhone 3.0 OS officially dropping today (though some of us have had ours for a week and have since hacked it for tethering!), MLB.com is pulling all punches with its new iPhone App, At Bat. While the app itself isn’t new, the 3.0 update will give owners the chance to stream live baseball games at no additional cost. The first game to be streamed will be tomorrows Sox vs Cubs matchup at 2:20pm. For $10, you seriously can’t... Continue reading

While I’m not a Yankees fan, one can’t deny the popularity and rich history of one of the most famous baseball teams ever. Their new stadium is still being completed in time for the 2009 season that starts next month and it’s shaping up to be quite the experience. Shown above is the 103-by-58-foot 1080p display that will show fans replays, home runs and a whole lot of advertisements. It has features like picture-in-picture and can show four different video...

Whether you love football, baseball or even soccer, you’re almost guaranteed to see a series of floodlights keeping your game lit up throughout the night. The bright spectacle of light beaming down upon your favorite players can be mesmerizing. Why not take that feeling home with the Floodlamp? It takes six bulbs and will most likely cause a small fire in your house, but hey, it’s related to sports! It runs about $125, not including fire insurance. Link [via]

Although I now live in New York, I originally grew up with Ryan in South New Jersey, right outside of Philadelphia. This makes us huge Philadelphia Phillies fans (albeit I’m a Giants fan come football season) and after last night’s World Series game, we’re happy Philadelphia fans. The Philadelphia Phillies have finally broken the curse of William Penn and have paved the way for the Flyers and Eagles to win championships. No one cares about the 76ers, so no matter...

If you go to Mets games frequently enough (season tickets, weekly plan, etc.), then you’ll be happy to know you’re entitled to purchase an authentic set of seats from Shea Stadium. It’s an exciting opportunity that will cost you $869 for a pair of seats but worth much more to the true baseball fan. Green, red, blue and orange seating will be available as of today. If you don’t catch the Mets frequently but still want to plunk down your... Continue reading

Reebok and the MLB have teamed up to create a limited edition set of shoes that will have any true New Yorker screaming “Gimme those fuckin’ shoes, jerkoff!” The two shoes available feature either Yankee Stadium or Shea Stadium coloring and artwork. Only 150 pairs of each shoe will be produced, with the number printed on the inside of the shoe. You can pump it up like it’s 1992 with Reebok’s proprietary Pump gimmick or just rock them with your... Continue reading

The Oakland A’s. A team no one really cares about, just like the post-Bo Jackson Raiders. However, that’s not going to stop the developer of Cisco Field, the A’s new baseball stadium in construction, from hooking up fans. Cisco is looking to add interactive wireless touchscreens to each seat in the stadium. You could look up player stats, game stats, order a hot dog, request a beer, complain about a heckling fan and so much more. Now all the A’s... Continue reading
