You know that Taco Bell commercial showing the guy catching a foul baseball with his left hand while eating a nacho-filled taco with his right? The motto is, "if you can eat your nachos with one hand, you can be a hero with the other." Well, this motto works a little bit better with a bucket of popcorn.
Bill Murray, iconic funny man and long-time part owner of the Charleston RiverDogs, was recently inducted into the South Atlantic League Baseball Hall of Fame, to both our surprise and his.
At the beginning of the 2012 MLB season, New Era released their newest spot highlighting rivalries -- this time opting for Cubs vs. White Sox and Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson) vs. Craig Robinson (Daryl from 'The Office'). The duo didn't disappoint as they traded barbs, quips and low blows. Now, they're back to give us another round of retorts as Craig grills Nick about what he'd do for a Cubs championship.
There have only been 15 unassisted triple plays in Major League history. This makes the instant inning killer the rarest play in all of baseball.

Road trips can often get boring. So what do you do when you run out of options to keep you occupied? If you are the boys from Harvard's baseball team, you put on a Carly Rae Jepsen's pop hit 'Call Me Maybe' and lip-synch to it while the camera's rolling.
Coleman Shannon was born without a right hand and forearm, due to a medical condition called Amelia, but that hasn't slowed him down from chasing his baseball dreams. In fact, the 14-year-old left-handed pitcher recently threw a no-hitter in a Johnsonville, SC little league game.
For any rookie baseball player just entering the MLB, getting your first major league hit is a moment to remember. But when that moment gets its thunder stolen from you - by a mooning fan to boot - well, that's quite something. It's what happened to Washington Nationals' Bryce Harper, who only made his MLB debut with the team on April 28.
There is no better feeling for a baseball player than hitting a game-winning home run. So Tennessee slugger Jameson Painter was on cloud nine when his eighth inning round-tripper put his Chuckey-Doak High baseball team in the lead for good in their game against Jonesboro University High.
However, when the senior got to the parking lot to drive himself home after the game he went from the thrill of victory to the agony of having to deal with a broken windshield. And Painter only had himself to blame for the shattered glass, as it was his game-winning moonshot that did the damage.
Sean Leonard and fiance Shannon Smith Moore, the couple who stole a foul ball from a little boy and made him cry during a game between the Yankees and the Rangers on Wednesday night, recently spoke to ABC and said they were completely oblivious to the drama playing out right beside them. Do you believe them?
In this video, a pint-sized baseball fan misses a foul ball at a game between the Yankees and the Rangers and sobs hysterically for failing to snag the prize.
