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. Not only has it been over a century since winning the World Series,  the club security removes one of the longest running employees for the team, Yosh Kawano, who retired after 65 years from his position of clubhouse manager.

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.

Parents Brawl at Kids Area at Kansas City Royal Kaufmann Stadium - James T. Mela, 37 and Ronika L. Brooks arrested!

It was during the Kansas City Royals Major League Baseball game that police were called to the Kids Playground area, and what they find?  They found adults fighting. James T. Mela,and Ronika L. Brooks were arrested for violating city ordinances.  It all started when Mela's wife was trying to take a picture of their children, and Brooks walked thru the pictures. The wife uttered an explective...and the shit hit the fan. Spitting, kicking faces, racial slurs all those things that adults should not to in a children's playground area. No word on what type of camera Mela was using, but if it was digital, she could have easily deleted the offending photo.

Yankee Brett Gardner Hits Home Run after Child in Hospital give him bracelet to Help Him!

Yankee Brett Gardner hadn't hit a home run in a long time. Today he visited a hospital, and a sick girl gave him a bracelet telling Gardner, it would help him hit a home run. Guess What?  Gardner hit an inside the park homerun. Though the story is buried in the Yankee's story, this is a great human interest story, and I believe we will see more media on this in the next few days.
