Betts probably catches it if the guy doesn't touch it

This is actually pretty wrong. English's design is pretty damn dumb.

I doubt Betts catches that, it'd probably bounce off the wall, or deflect off his glove.

Also, Brett gardner is the best baserunner in the league.

Without David Ortiz, who would you say is the current face of the Red Sox?

The Indians, knowing Belle's bat was corked, sent Jason Grimsley to switch the bat with another teammate's. He climbed in from the ceiling of the locker room and made the switch.

After the game, the umps noticed that the bat didn't look the same and there was some ceiling tile on the floor. The police began investigating it as theft, and the FBI even got involved at one point.

Eventually, Belle was suspended when they actually got one of his bats to look into.

Dunno how that story has escaped me my whole life, but I found it pretty amusing.

I don't listen to Jim Rome any more, but I wouldn't be surprised if he still mentions this Joey Belle story weekly.

I dont think Pedroia would want to be in the conversation. Im sure a good % of Sox fans would rank him as their favourite player but i dont think he would resonate with fans of other teams. I agree that with bware for the fact that Mookie and Sale are prob the first 2 names mentioned when talking about the Sox this season.

It is, but the rule is when there are 2 outs in the inning you only get 30 seconds to challenge, and Joe missed his chance.

If you don't believe in tilt in baseball, this Padres' pitcher is the epitome. Walks a batter w/ 2 out. Next batter he walks and guy on first advances to third. Then gives up a HR, another HR, and then misses an easy fielding play on a grounder.

Apparently the Dbacks enjoy hitting at Chase Field. 28 runs and counting over the past 3 games. If only they'd learn to hit on the road.
