Who knew a Cy Young award can make such a nice chair?

If you aren't completely mesmerized by this surreal video like I am, please at least watch long enough to hear about the Vactican softball team.
Ladies and gentlemen, JP2:
I'm guessing that he was a Cardinals fan.

Happy Hall of Fame Announcement Day!
The results of this year's Hall of Fame voting will be announced later today. I suppose I could fill this space by discussing who would get a vote on my fictitious ballot. But, honestly, did you really come here to read an inane post about steroids and Alan Trammell statistics?

Last week for @MLBFanCave WBC applications
Since I don't get the MLB Network, my only exposure to the MLB Fan Cave is snippets of video I see online and the emails I get from MLB.com which advertise hipster bands who perform there. Anyway, the MLB Fan Cave is returning for the 2013 World Baseball Classic:

Do you miss baseball? Here's a full game!
It is early January, but the Australian Baseball League is going strong. In fact, they stream video of their games live online. If my time calculations are correct, tomorrow's late morning game in Australia happens today this evening in the States.
The following game between the Adelaide Bite and the Perth Heat happened just two weeks ago today. Enjoy:
