Twitter is the greatest thing to happen to Jose Canseco since steroids. The former Bash Brother has over 440,000 followers on the micro blogging site and is known for his off-beat quasi-coherent Tweeting style.

His most recent newsworthy barrage of Tweets relate to the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.

We've pulled off some impressive examples of multitasking ourselves. (You should see us type and eat at the same time.) But this dad, who catches a foul ball during a game between the Giants and the Pirates while simultaneously holding his daughter, puts us to shame. Oh, and did we mention that he catches the ball one-handed? He must be some sort of super dad!

As one of the stars of the runaway hit 'The Hunger Games,' Josh Hutcherson was on top of the world. Why even his hometown Cincinnati Reds asked the 19-year-old to throw out the first pitch before their game Saturday against the Miami Marlins. Unfortunately for Hutcherson that experience took him down a peg, as his ceremonial toss could be generously descibed as "horrible."

When you invite Bill Murray to participate in your sporting event, you can probably expect something wacky to happen. Which is why the funnyman is the star every year at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golf tournament. Beyond the links, Murray is a dedicated Chicago Cubs fan. So he was a natural pick to throw out this season's first pitch at Wrigley Field.

If you happen to be at a Washington Nationals baseball game this year, you may notice the Red Porch concession stand selling a ginormous sandwich named after Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg called the “StrasBurger." But while it might look tasty, this may actually be one of the worst pieces of sports fare calorie-wise.

As is often pointed out by the game's critics, baseball can be a bit slow. So what's a fielder to do during the often excruciating periods between pitches? Well, if you're Cleveland Indians' second baseman Jason Kipnis, you do a bit of singing. Adele's 'Someone Like You' to be exact.

This would have been a good entry for Jimmy Kimmel's Christmas gift prank videos: a father gives his daughter - a big Chicago White Sox fan - a gift for a Chicago Cubs fan!

During long periods of isolation in outer space, boredom is no doubt a major problem. So how did one Japanese astronaut decide to pass the time? By playing a baseball game all by himself, of course.

A groundskeeper at Ranger's Ballpark in Arlington, TX drops his broom and performs a nifty, impromptu dance routine between innings during game four of the World Series.

A cameraman ambitiously trying to record Texas Ranger Adrian Beltre circle the bases after a home run fell down on top of his equipment. His tumble was captured by another camera to the enjoyment of everyone watching at home.

During Wednesday night's playoff game between Philadelphia and St. Louis, a squirrel ran right across home plate as Phillies hurler Roy Oswalt threw a pitch. Now the varmint has his own Twitter account with over 20,000 followers. Check out the video that made him famous below:

Max Ashton -- who is blind -- threw an almost-perfect strike before a playoff game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Milwaukee Brewers. Put this kid in, coach. He's ready to play.

On the heels of Red Sox manager Terry Francona being let go this morning, David Letterman's "Top Ten Things Overheard in the Red Sox Clubhouse" will be seriously painful to Red Sox fans (but funny for everyone else).

We've all seen amazing foul ball catches from fans in the stands. But the guy in this video is so determined to catch a wayward ball, he forgets that he's holding his daughter. Whoops!

All-time save leader Mariano Rivera has made close to $150 million playing baseball. But as a kid growing up in Panama, the Yankee legend had so little money that buying a baseball glove was out of the question. In the video below, Rivera demonstrates how he used to make his childhood mitts out of cardboard. He says they did make it easier to catch a fast moving baseball, but adds that anyone who
