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.
Saturday night, the Seattle Mariners inducted the seventh player into the team's Hall of fame with the inclusion of the iconic player they called, "The Kid," Ken Griffey Junior.

As a baseball fan, I often get into arguments with people as to why I think steroids should be LEGAL within the game. Usually I get the response you are thinking right now. "No way! It's cheating!"

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.

As a youngster, I spent hours collecting trading cards from various sports. When I got older, I soon realized that these were basically pictures of grown men I was carrying around in my wallet. Not good. I hung on to my collection with the thought of passing them on to my son someday...
In a comical and ironic twist, a 1987 Donruss baseball card of notorious steroid abuser Barry Bonds has surfaced and is being auctioned off on E-bay for $100,000.
What makes this card have such perceived value? Probably because of the inscription Bonds scrawled above his John Hancock.
