7/8/12: Royals prospect Wil Myers breaks a video camera behind home plate with a foul ball
Time to bubble wrap all the cameras.
This is what you get for using this ugly camera angle during an at bat.

Just staring at him afterwards… HAHAHA.
Here’s Orioles reliever Darren O’Day rolling through Citi Field aboard his Solowheel. This brings up the following questions:
- If Darren O’Day goes to the All-Star Game one year, and he gets called to come in and pitch, will he leave the bullpen riding his Solowheel and cruise nonchalantly all the way out to the mound?
- Would that be an even better entrance than Heath Bell’s slide?
- Will Future Baseball™ feature players zipping around the bases on electric unicycles?
- YES

All-Star Lineups Released
Hey, you. Did you feel that? That trembling, chaotic shift in the ground underneath your feet? Because that was the All-Star game rosters being released and the Earth groaning and creaking under the immense weight of their importance. Do you want names? Check out all the names under the cut:
I love this sport. LOVE. I love how bitter rivals can cry together over tragedies or bond over historical and seemingly impossible moments like this.
Two Perfect Games, one being the first Giants Franchise History
Three No Hitters, one being the first in Mets Franchise History, one being completed by 6 pitchers
One 4-homer game
A 49 year old had won a start
Numerous 3-homer games and too many pitchers flirting with no-nos to count.
And it’s mid-June.
This may become the greatest year of baseball ever.
