BJ Upton has always been a frustrating player. Despite being blessed with an endless array of tools and abilities, Upton has never come close to matching his 2007 season when he hit .300/.386/.522 as a 22-year-old. Since that time, and despite three 40+ steal seasons,…

Classic Moments in Baseball: May 27, 1993 - Canseco uses his noggin!
On May 27, 1993 Cleveland’s Carlos Martinez hit a warning track line drive fly ball to deep right to start the fourth inning. Canseco ran back to the wall, reached up and narrowly missed the ball. Possibly glancing off his glove, the ball hit Canseco squarely on the head and bounced over the fence for a home run.
Teammate David Hulse’s reaction was absolutely priceless when he went to check on a slightly dazed and confused Jose Canseco! :)
#BlueJays Henderson Alvarez signals to the dugout that he is alright after trying to barehand a hit.

MLB really needs to bear down on umps for ridiculous or spiteful calls. Henderson was ejected from the game for pitching inside to Rangers Ian Kinsler. Even Kins thought the call was crey-crey!

The standings will look much better when the #Jays surpass the Rays come Wednesday night!
Classic moment in baseball: @VernonWells10 strikes back!
All this talk about hecklers, especially with the #BlueJays in Tampa and with Vernon on Twitter last night, it reminded me of this classic moment during a May 2007 game when Mr. Wells personalized a baseball for Cleveland fan Jeff Raycher.
The ball read as follows:
“Dear Mr. Dork, here is your ball! Can you please tell me what gas station you work at so when you are pumping my gas I can yell at you!!! Now sit down, shut up and enjoy the game! Your favorite center fielder.”
You gotta love Vernon’s sense of humor and his quick wit in order to come up with that nugget on the fly! :)
