Charlie Sheen reveals the time he spent $7,000 on 2,200 seats to catch a Cecil Fielder home run
“That was April 1996. I did it for Cecil Fielder. In Anaheim at the Big A”
“I called because I wanted to sit in that section. They said, ‘Well, that section’s closed. It’s an underattended game.’ I said, ‘Okay, what about this? How many seats are in that section?’”
“They were like, ‘Uh, 2,200.’ And I said, ‘What if I wanted to buy all of them? What kind of break could you cut me? What kind of deal could you swing?’ I think it came out to something like $7,000”
“It was left field. I wanted to force the hand of the baseball gods and not just catch a foul ball, but catch a home run ball. I figured if I’ve got the entire left-field stands with a couple buddies of mine, I’ve stacked the deck”
“We were hammered. We barely made it to the game. There’s also a great shot in Sports Illustrated of me standing like this with a glove and the empty stands behind me”
“We didn’t catch anything that night. And the next night, not just in that section, but in our seats, four home runs were hit. You can’t force the hand of the baseball gods”
The odds of someone hitting two grand slams in the same inning is basically 1 in 75869695847. In ‘99 Fernando Tatis Sr. did it. He’s the only one in baseball history to ever accomplish this feat
This at-bat against Jennie Finch shows just how hard it is to hit an elite softball pitcher
Albert Pujols had 703 career home runs and didn't make contact 😳
31 years ago, Pedro Martinez tossed 9 perfect innings against the Padres. 27 straight outs recorded to start the game. Needed only 94 pitches.
Unfortunately, the game was tied 0-0. He’d lose the perfect game in the 10th on a leadoff 2B from Bip Roberts.
Twenty years ago today, Mike Mussina let Joe Torre know he was going to finish what he started 🤣
Mussina then got the final out to close out the last complete game of his Hall of Fame career.
Check this out. Hoover Dam launches ‘Road To America 250’
This flag is the length of a football field and it will be on display every day through July 4th #RoadToAmerica250#HooverDam
Today, we pause to remember and honor members of the United States military who lost their lives in service to our country.
On this #MemorialDay, MLB will honor and observe the National Moment of Remembrance. All clubs active at 3 pm local time will temporarily pause for a moment of silence. All games operating outside of this time window will conduct a moment of silence prior to the U.S. national anthem.
🚨JUST IN: The arena filled with a standing ovation as Hunter Metcalf accepted the posthumous diploma for his twin brother, Austin Metcalf, who was fatally stabbed in the chest last year.
Austin passed away in his brother’s arms after the alleged stabbing by Karmelo Anthony.
Anthony has been charged with first-degree murder and could face up to 99 years in prison if convicted.
This emotional moment happened during Memorial High School’s graduation ceremony in Frisco, Texas, where the crowd gave a heartfelt round of applause lasting around 30 seconds.
Kaiser was so pissed about getting hit in the facemask by the pitcher (likely intentionally) that he called the next pitch "ball two" before the ball left the pitcher's hand. Then ejects Terry Bevington mid pitch 🤣.
'You think you scare me, mfer?' Was pretty much the most notable thing i could understand. Legendary moment
