Drop whatever you’re doing, folks Top prospect Jesus Made clobbers a homer that looks like it shouldn’t be possible… over the fence, over the trees, into the parking lot. (You can tell right off the bat that it’s going far, but I still gasped audibly.)

Will Clark homered off Nolan Ryan at the cavernous Astrodome in his very first big league at-bat… I know it says 400, but is it just me or does the fence look like it’s about ten miles away? What an absolute TANKjob by Will Clark off an all-time great.

This throw to second by the catcher is literally such a laser beam that it doesn’t look real It looks like a video game throw

Drop whatever you’re doing, folks We all know that Robinson Cano has one of the greatest swings of his era, but check out the absolute stillness of his head, even in slow motion; he’s locked in on that baseball and then his hands explode right through it

Drop whatever you’re doing, folks Get a load of Windbreaker Lou Gehrig taking some absolutely vicious daddy hacks during spring training in the 1930s Arguably the greatest first baseman of all time, Gehrig was a legend for his durability and massive production hitting behind Babe Ruth He was a quiet winner, an understated foil to Ruth’s unapologetic celebrity, and likely one of the strongest men to ever play the game (as if the crack of the bat in this wonderfully colorized film clip, vivid as if it were taken yesterday, left any doubt in your mind)

Great example of old vs. new values By the eye test, this is a marvelous catch, the kind fans are glad they paid money to see By analytics, this had an 85% catch probability per The WARmonger & only looked hard because of a bad jump Is it good or bad?

Terrible, terrible look for Willson Contreras here, wow. He's on a rehab assignment in the minor leagues and really not taking it seriously at all. After the umpire declined to grant him time out to get more pine tar, Contreras simply surrendered. Watch:

Here’s your semi-regular reminder that there’s not a player in MLB history who fielded the bunt play as well as Keith Hernandez He played first base with the aggressiveness of a shortstop, and if he was right-handed, probably *would have been* a shortstop

New Giants manager Tony Vitello, who had no professional baseball experience prior to 2026, told his bullpen he wanted a new pitcher, but didn’t specify which one, leading to absolute chaos and confusion. The Giants are 16-24.

My most core personal Mike Ditka memory has nothing to do with football or SNL. Ten years ago when my now-wife and I first moved in together, we were in our 20s and lived in a tiny apartment. We had different work schedules and the only time we could go to the gym together was super early in the morning, before anything else had a chance to compete for our time. We'd try to get in there around 5:00am, which is insane, because neither of us are especially "morning people." So we would set the alarm for 4:15am, spend a few minutes moaning and groaning about how early it was, and then we'd blast this absolutely ridiculous auto-tuned motivational Mike Ditka rap about personal accountability while we made a pot of coffee and tried to get less groggy. It's completely absurd, but it got us out the door for SO MANY early morning workouts; it became like a ritual for us as we forced ourselves to leave the apartment while it was still dark outside. We are probably half of the views on this thing on YouTube. The neighbors had to absolutely hate us. The funniest part, though, is that we will still randomly quote this to each other even though it's been years and years since it was part of the daily routine. Let's face it: it's quirky and catchy as hell, you can't go wrong with his advice, and you can't not laugh at the insane format it's delivered in. You might wake up tired and grumpy, but you'll make yourself put the work in once you remember that Iron Mike says you have to make sacrifices today for the long-term good.

The biggest factor in Luis Arraez becoming one of the league's premier second basemen is his work with the GREAT Ron Washington. Every team but the Giants had already written him off as only a 1B or DH, but San Francisco allowed Arraez to move back to 2B.

You’ve all seen Andres Galarraga take Kevin Brown 800 feet out of Pro Player Stadium, but have you seen Andres Galarraga hit the giant Coca-Cola bottle in left field at Oracle Park? I think he’s the only one ever to reach it, and he was 40 when he did it.
