Pick off plays always carry a prime opportunity for embarrassment, either for the pitcher — if his throw is too high or off line — or the runner, if he happened to stray too far from off base. Still, few pick off plays have ever been more embarrassing than the trick attempt employed by the Delano (Cal.) High baseball team in the video you see below. As noted by the blog It's Always Sunny in Detroit, with two outs and the bases loaded, Delano desperately needed a way to get out of an inning without allowing any more runs. Rather than risk giving up a game-changing hit, Delano coach Dan Paulson called for a trick play the team calls "El Black." Now, let's walk through the crafty piece of baseball be-devilment known as El Black, shall we? First, the unnamed pitcher faked a pickoff throw to second base. As soon as he did so, the second baseman rushed over as if he was covering the bag and preparing for a throw. The trick, of course, was that the throw never c...

Twenty thousand Arizona Diamondbacks fans sported full-arm tattoos at Chase Field over the weekend. Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the tattoo artist's needle, but the attractiveness of these intricate nylon sleeves was that they could be removed at the end of the night. The right to bare arms was protected, and everybody went to school or work or the senior center Monday without needing a tattoo-concealing long-sleeve shirt on a 103-degree day. Ink with no stain, body art with no regrets. As someone who has seen countless inked-up athletes and had the tattoo gun strike close to home, I'm all for these temp tats. In a first-of-its-kind promotion, the D-backs handed out the slip-on tattoos before their game against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. A real tattoo, like true love, is forever. Nylon sleeves are the equivalent of a one-night fling, a way for fans to feel the deeply etched passion Diamondbacks ink-stained wretch of a third baseman Ryan Roberts feels...

Once again the phones started to ring, former San Diego Chargers from the franchise's lone Super Bowl team calling each other and digesting the news that another one of them was gone. With word that Junior Seau died Wednesday, the number of Chargers who played in the Super Bowl on Jan. 29, 1995, and are now dead, is eight. Eight in 18 years; too many in too little time. The subject is one I discussed, somewhat uncomfortably, with several of the former Chargers in 2008. This wasn't long after Chris Mims, their gregarious defensive end, was found dead in his Los Angeles apartment. Five had died back then. And that seemed like a lot.   I called a professor of actuarial science at the University of Wisconsin to see if she could put number on five men from a 53-man roster – all in their 20s and 30s – dying in so short a time. She said the odds were less than 1 percent.In the resulting story that ran in The Washington Post, many former players and coaches talked abo...

Super hero face a simple problem in his house area. So he take a proper step to save himself.  Stephen Strasburg is off to a sensational start and Bryce Harper made a big splash in his MLB debut, but the biggorest hero f the Nationals this season might be an usher named Andre Hawthorne for a courageous act performed away from the stadium. The Nationals will honor Hawthorne before Tuesday's night game, a team spokesperson told the Washington Post , after he saved kids in his neighborhood from a vicious dog attack. Hawthorne was returning from the ball park to his home in northeast Washington last week when he saw two large dogs terrorizing the kids, some of whom were forced to flee to the roof of a parked car, WJLA reported . The children were able to run to safety while Hawthorne confronted the dogs with a knife. The dogs attacked Hawthorne, biting him on the left arm and left hand, and he is receiving rabies shots.
