Weekend Video: Howard Stern executive producer fails at another chance at first pitch on Jimmy Kimmel

Gary Dell’Abate is the executive producer for the Howard Stern Show. Dell’Abate is a life long New York Mets fan and was given the opportunity to throw out the ceremonial first pitch on My 9, 2009. The pitch is now famous and was so horrible that Dell’Abate almost his the umpire who was standing by the third base line. On Thursday, Dell’Abate was on Jimmy Kimmel to promote his new book and was given the chance to redeem himself and prove to America that he can throw a baseball.

The only problem was…. it was another failed attempt! To see Dell’Abate’s original pitch at the Mets game watch the video below!

Mark Buehrle’s wife announces he won the Gold Glove on Facebook before the MLB did

The Gold Glove is one of the most prestigious awards in baseball. 18 awards are handed out each season to the best player in their position in both the National and American leagues. Winners are voted on by league managers and coaches. Today it was announced White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle has won his second Golden Glove for AL pitcher, the problem is it wasn’t the MLB who announced it. Instead, Buehrle’s wife, Jamie Buehrle took to her Facebook to deliver the news. In a Facebook status Buehrle wrote, “So proud of my husband. He is now a Two time gold glove winner!!!”

The MLB is scheduled to announce the 2010 Gold Glove winners Tuesday and Wednesday, well at least we’ll find out the other 17 winners.

Props to my employers the Chicago Tribune for breaking this story :) & keep on chasing Jamie!

RIP Sparky Anderson

Legendary baseball manager Sparky Anderson has passed away at age 83 due to complications of demetia. Anderson was the first manager to win a World Series in both leagues (Detroit Tigers 1984, Cincinnati Reds 1975 & 1976). As a Detroit girl and Tigers fan this was very sad. As I was looking through YouTube, I found this PSA announcement from the 80s that sums up Sparky’s persona.
