Well once again, the Mariners are trading another one of their favorite players to the Yankees. Ichiro Suzuki has been an icon to Seattle and Washington after starting his career here [...]

There is no better feeling for a baseball player than hitting a game-winning home run. So Tennessee slugger Jameson Painter was on cloud nine when his eighth inning round-tripper put his Chuckey-Doak High baseball team in the lead for good in their game against Jonesboro University High.

However, when the senior got to the parking lot to drive himself home after the game he went from the thrill of victory to the agony of having to deal with a broken windshield. And Painter only had himself to blame for the shattered glass, as it was his game-winning moonshot that did the damage.

Cleveland Indians left-fielder Shelley Duncan used all of his six-foot-five frame to make spectacular – and eerily similar — catches on three consecutive Texas Ranger batters.

Foul tips are one of the perils of playing the catcher position in baseball, but one doesn’t usually associate fire hazard with that risk.
