Fantastic Yankees hype video might actually get you to root for them in the MLB Playoffs

Richard RodriguezGritty Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela being gritty as usual.It's been well established that the New York Yankees are the Goliath of Major League Baseball. With names like Ruth, Gherig, DiMaggio, and Mantle, and more World Series titles than letters in the alphabet, the team has history unmatched in any sport.

I can see you spitting out your Yankee Hatorade in laughter, but bare with me for a minute. This year's team won 103 games despite breaking the MLB record for players having injured stints. In AUGUST! Only two key position players, Gleyber Torres and DJ LeMahieu, made it through the season unscathed, while stars like Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Didi Gregorius, and Aaron Hicks all spent significant time on the disabled list, not to mention a banged-u..

Houston furniture mogul makes $3.5 MILLION World Series bet on Astros—and he’s not done

A Houston man named Jim McIngvale made one of the largest wagers in U.S. history on the eve of the 2019 MLB Playoffs by placing $3.5 million on the Astros to win the World Series. The craziest part? He was just hedging a different kind of bet.
McIngvale, better known as “Mattress Mack,” owns Gallery Furniture, one of the biggest furniture stores in the country.

Nothing will get you fired up for the MLB Playoffs like this Atlanta Braves-themed club banger

America, stop what you're doing. The MLB Postseason is here! [GRABS HAIR AND RUNS INTO SLIDING GLASS DOOR SCREAMING]. That means flame-throwing aces and frosty nights warming your hands beside the hot dog lamps. That means dingers that go dong and bullpens that get turned to ground beef. That means hope and despair and memories of Derek Jeter diving headfirst into giant leaf piles dancing like the Philly Phanatic through our heads. It's the sweet, sweet release the last 162 excruciating, interminable extra-inning, Pacific time zone games have been building toward and baseball fans are already partying like it's 1903.
Case in point: Aaron Chewning, do-it-all digital personality/comedian-musician-cum-former-Vine-star-turned-filmaker hybrid, who took his love of the Atlanta Braves viral on Monday with this five-alarm fire (all the kids are saying it!) gangster rap tribute to the 2019 NL East Champs. Grab those headphones, your Bentley, a Sable fur cape, several strippers an..
