Arkansas Batter Wins an Oscar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26axJdDKYWw)
This is pretty hilarious. Arkansas batter Brian Walker fakes getting hit by a pitch…by a ball that misses him by a mile. I am curious what he said to the medical person who runs out and checks on him. Amazing how fast he recovers from his devastating elbow injury as he is able to strongly toss the bat away a few seconds later when he strikes out.
Minor League Manager Goes Nuts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tBFSrm3yFE)
This one even got some national airtime, as I even saw it on CNN. It puts some of Lou Pinella's meltdowns to shame.
An INCREDIBLE Throw. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQkb2PJm7Mw)
One word: Wow.
2004 ALCS, Game 4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYLB30rpuug)
Yankee fans, turn away. Everyone else, click the link. Listen closely…I love the smart fan who screams, “No bunting. No bunting!” The only thing missing from this great clip is perhaps the most famous stolen base in the history of baseball, which occurred right before this video starts. Still, goosebump inducing. Great stuff.
2004 ALCS, Game 5 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9ZUK4Ci3cM)
The next night, more Ortiz heroics, and another classic YouTube video. My only question with these videos is why is someone watching a tense playoff game through a camcorder lens?
1986 World Series, Game 6 Re-Enactment (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JArXRxuVTgY)
Combine Nintendo’s classic RBI Baseball game with perhaps the most famous baseball moment of them all and what do you get? Pure genius. I’m so curious how much work went into creating this, but it was worth the effort. Conor Lastowka, whoever you are, take a bow. You created the best YouTube video ever.
A few weeks ago, ESPN’s Bill Simmons listed his favorite YouTube videos. It was a great article (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/060626), and I encourage anyone who likes Simmons’ writing to read it (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/060626).
