If you feel like I missed any let me know!

[paranoiaaod]

I don't watch baseball. It is 2 in the morning and I have been watching funny baseball vids for like 2 hours...I need to go to bed

[samsee_ca]

The bases loaded intentional walk might be the most dickish - yet totally legal - move in all of baseball.

14:15 Five stars to the sound crew for playing "Flight of the Bumblebee"

[TheJordanAntibellum]

My dad: “Randy Johnson is downright the greatest pitcher in MLB history. Why? He hit a bird in his career. I didn’t even know you could do that!”

[morphman]

Walking out on the field with honey, sound guy plays Flight of the Bumblebee... They were having a good laugh that day! :D

[bobdole]

I love Randy Johnson's interviews. He's such an entertaining guy.

Best one I saw was him talking about a home run Mark McGuire hit off him that seemed to go on forever. It's the day after the game and Randy's acting super serious saying how something about the homer didn't look right to him, so he'd snuck into the A's locker room late at night after the game and checked out McGuire's bats. He heaves a sigh and says he found something.

Then he pulls up from behind the table one of those thin, yellow, plastic kid bats that's had a cartoonish looking cork stuffed into the top of it.

Everybody cracks up, I'm laughing right along with them at home, and Randy is forever cemented in my mind as one of the funniest pro athletes I've seen.

[americansmark]

How do you manage to break 3 bats in one at bat? That's insane

[Redknight-hewr]

bruh the moment of realization on the catchers face when he sees the ball connected to his chest protector 😂🤣😂🤣

[lukeplaysclash]

14:16 shout out to the genius sound operator who started playing ‘flight of the bumblebee’

[greenday]

Oh my god they actually started playing Flight of the Bumblebee at Yankee Stadium!

[EurypharPelecanoides]

As a british person watching this with no knowledge of baseball or presence of it in their culture, 4 things occur to me.
1. I enjoy the introduction of a melee weapon to popular sport. Here in the UK we do have cricket, but the objective is to kill the opponent with dehydration or exposure to the elements.
2. The thing where they touch you with their balls is adoreable, six foot muscle bound men jogging at eachother with intent to pat gently. It's like seeing a doberman licking a kitten's face.
3. The complex arrangement of people and curious terms is totally perplexing. Some of the rules make sense without them being explained, but at other times this is like watching bees.
4. Also, bees? I'm guessing that's not a regular feature? "AND NOW, FOR THIS GAME'S HALFTIME ENTERTAINMENT!!! ALL THE WAY FROM AFRICA! AFRICAN HONEY BEES!" *crowd goes wild*

2:40 what's amazing about that oddity is that was the game where bottom of the inning, Bautista did the amazing bat flip and the entire stadium lost its collective shit simultaneously

[Salvidrim]

Hahahaha the stadium playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" while the crew and umpires spray the swarm. #genius

[Tucker]

At a baseball game
Players: trying to play baseball
Bees: “ya like jazz”

[billyjaymz]

Sexton Pest Control advertising department on point.

[nickc]

Rip the bees. They just wanted to see a game with they family.

[Brandon-rqys]

I am helplessly in love with these "oddities" videos.
Cant wait for a part 3, part 4, part 5, etc.

Randy Johnson is such a good interview. He's got a great sense of humor.


In one interview, the day after McGuire (I think) hit and absolute gigantic home run off of him, he told the press that something about the home run felt off to him, so late at night he'd snuck into the other team's locker room and found a corked bat in McGuire's locker.


And then up from behind the table he pulls up one of those skinny, plastic, yellow bats with a cork sticking out of the top of it.


Still one of the funniest press conferences I've ever seen.

[erikscherer]

5:05 I still can't believe that happened to the Reds. It was clearly a ground-rule double and no review? Refs almost RAN of the field and wouldn't even consider looking at it? Should have been man at 2nd and 3rd 2 outs...
