Baseball

Major League Baseball is finally winding down to the postseason. We've had some great memories from this season on the diamond and we've also had to watch the Astros. The one thing I remember from my brief stint as a baseball player was the phrase "keep your eye on the ball"...

The Major League Baseball season is winding down, and for some high-profile players and one particular manager, it probably feels like the longest season of their careers. So who was this year's biggest disappointment?

The Major League Baseball playoffs start Friday, and three American League teams clinched post-season spots on Sunday night. Here's what's happening in Major League Baseball:

For baseball fans, witnessing a home run at a critical moment is only part of the fun. It’s up to each team’s announcers to lend a sense of scope and excitement to the moment.

Prime seats right behind home plate at a Major League baseball game = a lot of money Bucket of popcorn at a Major League baseball = also a lot of money Catching a foul ball at a Major League baseball game in your empty bucket of popcorn = Super Sweet!

The College World Series has gotten underway, with the NCAA’s best duking it out to be crowned the best baseball team in the land. The series is often a breeding ground for future major league stars.

Tiger Woods chases a major victory, eight teams seek NCAA glory and LeBron James looks to derail Kevin Durant in the NBA Finals. Here’s what to watch this weekend in sports:

Stony Brook defeated the Tigers 3-1 in Game 2.

Yesterday, Bruce Mikells brought you a bit of a painful foul ball catching video. In case you missed it, check it out here.

If you watch the video in slow motion you can see the balls initial contact is with the crotch area of the gentleman trying to make a bare handed catch. If that's not enough, the ricochet off his private parts bounces directly into the face of his female companion. That is probably not what they were anticipating when they planned an evening out at the ball park.

What is it about a foul ball, or a ball tossed into the stands that makes seemingly sensible human beings act as though they are starved animals fighting for a scrap of food.

He admittedly is a little out of shape, but Scotty McCreery made the cut to earn a spot on Garner High School’s Varsity baseball team. The 18-year-old hasn’t pitched since 2010, and even the coach at his hometown school isn’t sure what to expect from the senior.

Ever been sitting near someone holding up an enormous sign at a concert or sporting event? Well Luke and I figured we would share a bit of photos of them that are on the comical side of life!

Allen Craig hit a solo home run to provide the go-ahead run, as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Texas Rangers 6-2 in Game 7 to win the 2011 World Series

The scene of the World Series shifted from the chill of St. Louis to the much warmer confines of Texas last night. For Game 3 of the Fall Classic between the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals, country crooner Ronnie Dunn was called upon to sing he National Anthem, completing the trifecta of country artists singing the song for the first three World Series games.

It's a time honored tradition in America, we all stand remove our caps and honor America with the singing of our National Anthem. This is a little different but what you might think is a horrible twist of fate, turns out to be a really heart warming event.

So this has got to be one of the coolest videos i've ever seen!

The last time Lafayette's Little League team went to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania they earned the nickname "Cardiac Cajuns". This year's edition of Lafayette Little League must have a little bit of that team's DNA in their make up. After spotting the team from Pearland, Texas a 5 run read the bayou crew came roaring back to not only tie the game, but win i

OK, this is fake, there's no doubt. But it's still kind of cool to watch. See for yourself after the proverbial "jump".

We here at  97.3 The Dawg have been proud to be included in the ongoing journey of Lafayette's Little League All-Star team this year. So far the journey has brought all of us within one game of the holy grail of Little League, Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Should Lafayette take care of it's business againt Texas East (Pearland, Texas) then our "bayou crew" will be on a stage where the enti
