The funniest part about Baez's baserunning was he called Contreras safe at home before realizing he still had to get to first and then when he slid into first he called himself safe before going to 2nd

The ball boy from the royals not doing anything out of fear of messing up again is one of the most relatable moments in sports history

5:02 that’s not the most random noise ever heard… that’s the beginning to kickstart my heart lmfao

Javy would do insane plays like that all the time and somehow they worked. That's why we called him El Mago. In the 2018 Wild Card game, he hugged Nolan Arenado to prevent him from completing a double play. All Arenado had to do was attempt to make the throw and Javy would have been called on interference. For whatever reason, he didn't, and hugged Baez back.

“The most random sound ever heard” That was the beginning to Kick Start my Heart!

My middle school librarian was a giants ball boy. She would sometimes just leave school early to just go watch the Giants

Using a flamethrower to dry dirt faster is more American than baseball itself.

The Lonnie Smith incident really grinds my gears. Dude had one of the craziest comeback stories in sports history but unfortunately a few seconds of confusion is how he will be remembered. It's unjust.

Thing is, the Javier Baez one did affect the game tremendously, the Cubs won by a 2 run gap, and the two runs came from this hillarious error

This man is also responsible for baseball getting boosted ratings. His videos are absolute gold!

"But the dumbest offender was in Philly" *pretends to be suprised*

In the 4:57 clip, the "noise" that plays out I'm 90% sure it's the intro for "Kickstart My Heart" by Motley Crue

5:05 it was actually the intro to Kickstart My Heart lmao

Every BDE intro: He hit 75 homers while suffering stage 4 colon cancer and only had 2 fingers and toes. He also was known for his steroid use and corked bats. This all happens before he was 5 years old

Lonnie Smith didn't get tricked. He lost the ball and didn't know if he could make it to third. You can see in the clip that he's not looking at the second baseman and doesn't stop when the "trick" happens, but after he looks into the outfield. Lonnie has addressed this and there's even a _Pretty Good_ episode about Lonnie Smith where Jon Bois talks about it.

That security guard tackling the dude proposing was legit

I can really feel for the guy in the booth on the JJ Putz situation. I did some PA announcing in college during my red shirt season and one of the guys was helping me and played music as a pitch was being thrown and he hid. Jake Moye if you're reading this I'll never forget.

i don’t even watch baseball yet get hyped to see your new uploads. you tell these stories so well.

5:02 calling the opening of motley crüe's "kickstart my heart" the most random sound ever heard is a crime

The grounds crew segment had me literally crying 😂😂😂😂

The “most random sound ever heard” was the first note of Kickstart my Heart by Motley Crue

This video made me laugh so hard, the random noise messed up his pitch killed 😂

I watched that 2010 Rays-Marlins game. Vuvuzelas, 9-8 game, 11 innings...that game was a descent into hell.

Cleveland's ten cent beer night deserved a special mention for promotions resulting in forfeits

I laugh every time that guy proposing gets taken out is shown. Never gets old.

That play that kept Lonnie Smith from scoring was one of the most heads-up plays in baseball history. Chuck Knoblauch's efforts to keep Smith from sprinting around the bases saved the game and the '91 World Series, as Minnesota went on to win.

The opening note to Kickstart My Heart blaring while Putz was trying to throw might still be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in a baseball game

its a good day when BDE uploads

04:49 "...but not always" ngl the comedic timing put coffee up my nose 🤧🤣

I worked for the triple a club for the mariners, pulling out the tarp is rough, especially if its windy. I saw a guy get tossed and shatter his knee when he landed. The mascot went under the tarp and someone had to direct him out lol. Yeah those tarps get really heavy when they're wet but when its windy it might as well be a parachute, i could never laugh or get upset at the grounds crew cuz ive been there myself.

You're my favorite channel to go to for baseball content. Always excited for a new video!

1:42 "The Marlins, during their first season ever, made the extremely stupid decision, to hire NICHOLAS CAGE as an employee."

I was at the Dodgers baseball giveaway game. My parents didn't let me throw my ball 'cause we were too high up, so I still have it! Little part of history.

I also worked even security for the AAC in Dallas. We were told to NEVER light up somebody unless they were about to injure someone else - ESPECIALLY a player. The thing is, we had things pretty much under control so that it would be difficult for someone to gain access to the floor for basketball, the ice (IMPOSSIBLE) for hockey and the stage (also IMPOSSIBLE) at a concert. At the Ballpark, it was easier to gain access to the field but there were sufficient security and APD officers to make any incursion short lived. And you REALLY didn't want to spend the night in those arena/stadium jail cells.

I swear whenever this man uploads all I hear In my head is *It’s the most, wonderful time, of the year*

No mention of Cleveland's 1974 Ten Cent Beer Night?

The stealing second base, followed by that Baez play, was the perfect combo and possibly my favorite ones in this video. Great video as always!

i guarantee absolutely no one expected the story at 8:07 like what group of people got together to think of this its utterly insane

16:56 you missed the best part, he only got caught cause he posted on twitter that he was the guy that escaped

The Florida Marlins tarp-gate has me ruining my mascara at work 😭!! I saw “This week in Baseball” on that incident & the voiceover & music… absolutely hysterical!! There needs to be a 30 year reunion mini-doc on that!

Following the 2010 World Cup, the Portland Timbers started selling branded vuvuzelas at games. But the sound was annoying and people complained, so they banned vuvuzelas from games. Fans found the vuvuzelas they bought at the stadium at one game were banned from the stadium by the next game. I imagine the same thing happened at other stadiums.

As a nationals fan, I thought it was hilarious that something that could be as threatening as the country of Russia, was just the Washington Nationals 11:11

Absolutely fantastic video! BDE with another home run of a compilation. Thank you for your dedication to the craft!

99% sure that random sound is the intro to the song Kickstart my heart by Mötley Crüe.

LMFAO the funniest thing about the Marlins tarp debacle is seeing the old man laugh at them while watching the crew struggle 😆😆😂

Maybe it doesn't count since it was between games, but Disco Demolition Night in Chicago is one of my favorites. The White Sox did a promotion in 1979 between two games of a double header where they blew up a bunch of disco records in center field to metaphorically kill disco music. The explosion (and hundreds of rowdy fans who stormed the field immediately after it) damaged the field and forced the Sox to forfeit game 2 of the double header.

11:45 "Luckily this did not affect anything that happened on the feild" 😭😭

okay can we just talk about this back handspring and how much air he got? full gymnast mode 💪 that was lit

5:00 Really kickstarted HIS heart

Honestly the elderly ball boy thing is super wholesome

"The most random sound ever heard" is the opening note to Motley Crue's kickstart my heart.

Thumnail works great

6:17 im sorry but 😂😂😂

15:27 Hahahaha the whole thing 😂😂😂

I can't believe a guy fractured his leg because an Automatic Tarp Machine malfunctioned. That has to be one of the most funny yet maddening stories I have ever heard

Best baseball channel on youtube by far. Keep up the great work you are doing amazing.

very interesting that a lot of the examples of the grounds crew messing up, the Mets are either home or away

Nothing tops .10 beer night. 7:06

The 2010 World Cup was probably the most watched muted sports event in history.

I have to be honest, I've never quite gotten baseball, nor do I super like it. It's fun to watch in, like, the last 2 or 3 innings, but I've never had an interest in it. But this channel makes it so fun to listen to, and the editing and presentation is so stylish, I watch it anyways.

Nah I would be fuming if I was manager and lost a game just because the grounds crew sucked. FUMING

Of all the sports stuff I do watch, I'm going to put you up there with some of the best. Not only do you add your own stuff, you're not overblown, and that makes binging your stuff very enjoyable. Thank you for your hard work, and keep 'em coming. Getting likes for all vids, and you've grabbed another sub. Hopefully those I show your stuff to adds you as well. :D

That baez play with the pirates first basemen was just unreal. Since when is there run downs between home and 1st base. Touch the bag or throw it to someone on the bag.

This was the funniest frickin video. I was laughing my ass off the entire time. I've seen the majority of these plays before, but something about your commentary and the clips together had me rolling. 😭 Well done BDE. That Lloyd Moseby clip 🤣

3:45, nothing suspicious there 😃

I went to the Milton Bradley game, fans started throwing trash in right field 😂

Excellent video as always. The content is great, it's well-researched and the editing is second to none. Disco Demolition and Ten-cent-beer nights too were good in terms of marketing to get fans to the game, but they finished badly so in the end they were pretty dumb. Fun fact about the Marlins 2010 Vuzuelza promotion. Pro players in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are more used to constant sound due to cheering sections cheering usually during the 9 whole innings. MLB usually doesn't have cheering sections with full bands playing music when teams are playing.

The ending made me remember there was a guy I worked with who had a court date for a weed charge. Put a pair of pants on to go in that had weed in the pocket. Cop ends up finding the weed in his pocket literally at court and the guilty guy was like omg I’m sorry I swear I would have never done that on purpose. Cop was like this is so ridiculous that I’m not even gonna book you you’re lucky.

You are an all time story teller! Love your videos. Keep up the amazing work.

First thing I thought of was Tyler Collins flipping everybody off at Comerica Park because he got booed for missing a fly ball and making an error on the throw to third

I dont even watch baseball that much but I love this channel so much. Keep up the great content 😂

This video was the right kind of chaos I needed this morning.

Are we not going to talk about how Jarren Duran of the Red Sox lost track of a fly ball and instead of getting the ball, he just stood there leading to Raimel Tapia to have a inside-the-park grand slam.

I have to ask... Where do you find all those crazy infos ? The amount of work put on all of your videos is just incredible !!! 🙌🙌

So many of these bits involve my Marlins, proud to be a fan 😂

4:58 That “random sound” isn’t random at all, it’s the opening chord of Kickstart my heart by Motley Crue

5:07 its not the most random sound in the world, its the beginning of kickstart my heart by motley crue!

Sweet vid. Always a good day when you upload

I binged your videos today instead of making my homework. I never knew that baseball was this interesting haha 😂

12:58 I don't care what happened. This type of behavior isn't normal. That man needs to deal with some internal demons.

The Braves / Twins play wasn't dumb at all. It was a genius play by the Twins' second baseman.

I’m really surprised the play that’s not on here was where Juan Segura stole second, then on the next batter started running to 3rd, ran back and ended up standing on 2nd with the runner behind him, thought he was out and started going back to the dugout only to realize he was still safe, so he “tagged up” (?) at 1st. On the next play, he got caught stealing 2nd…a base he had already stolen earlier that inning.

5:02 was that the opening to kickstart my heart 😂

The "Elderly ballboy" part had my crying. LOL

Do more videos where you highlight specific players. The Votto, Harper and Donaldson videos are the best ones for sure.

8:19 free vasectomy wtf

5:00 that's no random sound. That was a note from a Motley Crew song. 😂

"most random sound ever heard" i recognize the intro chord to kickstart my heart!!

When I clicked on this video I actually groaned when I saw it was 18 minutes long, but it flew by because I was laughing so much. Great video!

4:36 omg! Poor Vince Coleman

„Played the most random sound ever heard“ Motley Crue💀💀

The Senior Batpeople program is the most wholesome and also worst idea ever lolololol

1:28 benny was trying to be nice ro kid at least

that "most random sound ever" that messed up that pitch was the into to Kickstart My Heart by Motely Crue lol

that wasnt a random sound it was the intro to kickstart my heart

5:00 "The most random sound ever heard" Brother that's the opening chord to the greatest Rock song of all time

5:20 - the most random sound ever heard is the first 0.30 seconds of Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crue

That field runner who got away was amazing. The guy who got speared proposing to his girlfriend with his 15 mins of fame was a victim of a security guard also really really really wanting his own 15 mins of fame. Both guys have been waiting their whole lives for that moment.

5:40 I instantly think of Kramer rushing tennis balls in that Seinfeld episode
