Phillies Fan Susan Finkelstein Arrested for Allegedly Offering Sex for World Series Tickets! Did Officials Overreact?

  Susan Finkelstein is in hot water according to local police officals. Susan being a diehard Phillies fan placed a rather creative Craigslist ad that caught the attention of the "locals". When undercover agents met with the Phillies fan, the alleged offer for sex for tickets was presented- and  ta-dah...that's when the arrest was made. Susan on her Facebook page has lots of support, and posts that she feels like Hester Prynne from "Scarlet Letter".  Remember innocent until proven guilty

Was Baseball Hall of Famer Ted William's Frozen Head Abused By Cryonic Workers?

If Ted Williams were alive he would be pissed. A can of Tuna allegedly stuck to his cryonically frozen head?  An employee hitting the head with a wrench?  Sad treatment for a man that is known as one of the greatest Baseball players of all time.  The author of a book on Cryonics, Larry Johnson, worked at the Alcor facility in Arizona that houses William's head and noted the gross mistreatment in his book "Frozen: My Journey Into The World of Cryonics, Deception, and Death."

President Obama Throws Out First Pitch At All-Star Game! How Come Fox didn't Show it Being Caught?

Just wondering why the strange camera angle during Barack Obama throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at the MLB All-Star Game in St. Louis tonite. The camera caught the President throwing the pitch, but the angle didn't allow the viewers to see Albert Pujos catching the ball. Nor did any replays. Perhaps it was done not to embarrass the President if he had thrown a bad pitch.  Strange.

How embarrassing for the the Chicago Cubs front office.

Eric Estrada Discusses his Child Porn Experience during Chicago Cubs Broadcast!

Eric Estrada, botched the lyrics of "Take Me Out to The Ball Game" during the 7th inning stretch of the Cubs Baseball broadcast Monday night. After his singing, Estrada spoke with the announcers "I've seen my fair share of child pornography and I want to do something about it." As well as some facts about Ron Jeremy.  After watching the video, Estrada was discussing more of the dangers of the Internet than his personal experience with child porn....but I am sure there will be some controversy over the interview.

Major League Baseball Players Say Milwaukee's Pfister Hotel is Haunted!

First time I have heard of this one..... It appears that many players from Major League Baseball teams state that when in Milwaukee to play the Brewers, they stay at the Pfister Hotel....and it's haunted. One player sleeps with a bat after hearing noises in his room. Others stay two to a room. Another player saw a moving light in his room. I wonder if the hotel is set up to "haunt" opposing teams to give Milwaukee an advantage....if it is...it doesn't seem to be working.
