MLB Bad Ass Moments || Finnish Guy Reacts 

In some ballparks around the MLB, it's sort of like a unspoken tradition, to throw the homerun ball back onto the field, when it's a homerun from rival team. It's you never keep the ball from a team you hate the most, just throw it back.

The first guy smashed his bat because he was pissed about getting hit, he was hit by the ball.

FivePoints Vids did a couple videos about the quirks of the Baltimore Orioles' home ballpark, Oriole Park at Camden Yards (namely one, and that's the warehouse in right field): "Why Can't Anyone Hit the Warehouse at Camden Yards?" and "Why Does Camden Yards Have Shatterproof Windows?" Some hit-by-pitches are on purpose, some aren't. Ah, "Sweet" Lou Piniella...one of the best the theatrics of getting ejected. The game in Japan was one of a season-opening series between the Seattle Mariners (who haven't made the playoffs since 2001, but it looks like that drought may come to an end this year...Go Mariners!) and the Oakland Athletics at the Tokyo Dome. (Interesting note, the Mariners and Athletics are division rivals, and they're playing at the Tokyo Dome. The Tokyo Dome is the home ballpark of the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball, who are bitter rivals [akin to the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry] to my favorite NPB team, the Hanshin Tigers [Fure-fure-fure-fure]) Speaking of Nippon Proffesional Baseball, and specifically the Hanshin Tigers, look into the Curse of the Colonel (which is actually the whole reason I became a fan, having already been a lifelong Seattle Mariners fan [and we already have what I like to call the Curse of the Lawsuit {you might also want to check out the Dorktown series that Secret Base did on the Seattle Mariners}]). "It must feel terrible...home run." Especially when the batter follows it up with a bat flip, like "yeah, I just homered off your shit, git gud." The Western Metal Supply Co. building at San Diego's Petco Park (home of the Padres) is historic, and not only predates Petco Park (of course), but also the predecessor to Petco Park, San Diego Stadium (aka, Qualcomm Stadium, Jack Murphy Stadium, Snapdragon Stadium, SDCCU Stadium), and was renovated to include the team store, private suites, restaurants, and rooftop seating. I'll end with perhaps the greatest call not just in baseball history, but in American sports history: "...the 0-1 pitch on the way to Edgar Martinez; swung on and lined down the left field line for a base hit! Here comes Joey. Here is Junior to third base, they're going to wave him in! The throw to the plate will be...LATE! The Mariners are going to play for the American League championship! I don't believe it! It just continues! My oh my! Edgar Martinez with a double ripped down the left field line and they are going crazy at the Kingdome!"

A major league pitcher can through a fast ball anywhere between 90 to 105 mph (144 to 169 kph).
