The 1995 Mariners celebrating winning their first ever AL West division title. One of the greatest Baseball moments in my life. It was impossible not to love this team.

 

Jose Canseco giving pitching a shot with the Texas Rangers. He later needed Tommy John surgery due to this and was lost for the rest of the season due to the injury.

 

Oscar Gamble played with the Cleveland Indians from 1973-1975. His afro played anywhere it damn well pleased.

 

Billy Ripken, Cal Ripken Sr. and Cal Ripken Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles.

I watched this documentary yesterday on ESPN and it was awesome. MJ playing baseball was always such a cool thing in my eyes. This documentary gives the viewer a lot of info about how it all went down, what happened, and what potentially could have happened if he had not decided to go back to basketball when the 1994 strike happened. You will also never see Sports Illustrated the same way either as they were kind of pricks about the whole ordeal. Ron Shelton did a great job on the film. Def check it out if you get the chance.
