CC Sabathia Enters the Field of Dreams

This new Pepsi Max commercial is pretty great when you consider all of the legendary Hall of Famers hanging out. Together. In Iowa.

Maybe now that guy from the toy store will finally be schooled to who Mike Schmidt and Von Hayes are...

Jim Thome Is a Big Boy

Jim Thome hit career home run #550 Monday night, smoking a go-ahead three-run shot in the eighth inning of the Chicago White Sox 6-2 win over the Oakland Athletics. Clutch.

This particular longball, a 1-2 pitch to left-center off lefty reliever Craig Breslow, marks Thome's ninth of 2009 and puts the corn-fed designated hitter at 13th on the all-time homer list. He also lifted the Sox to .500 on the season, bringing their record to 25-25 for a 3.5-game deficit behind the Detroit Tigers for second in the American League Central.

On This Date...

On this date in 1926, Babe Ruth pulled a stunt at Mitchell Field in New York, catching a baseball that was dropped from an airplane traveling at 250 feet.

That was probably super awesome. Someone should recreate that moment. Kenny Rogers perhaps?

Or not... he's just the only recent gold-glove pitcher besides Greg Maddux and Mike Mussina I can think of at the moment... and neither of them are as fat as The Gambler.
