Cincinnati Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips' butt has a lesson for all of you ball players out there -- don't slide head first.

Chris Lane, an Australian man who had recently accepted a scholarship to play baseball for East Central University in Oklahoma, was shot and killed by three Oklahoma teens Friday afternoon. According to the police, the teens did it simply because they were bored.

We're not quite sure how this happens. This opening pitch thrown by 'Call Me Maybe' singer Carly Rae Jepsen at the Tampa Rays game on Sunday is a colossal failure.

If you've seen an opening pitch better than this, please let us know. At Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, South Korea, rhythmic gymnast* Shin Soo-ji threw this opening pitch.

We really weren't that excited about baseball season starting until we saw this video. Now we are filled with a burning desire to go to a game, catch a ball in a cup of beer, chug the beer and hold the ball in our mouth.

It's a little strange to lose a body part.
