Spring training is in full swing, with the MLB regular season right around the corner.
My fantasy baseball draft is tomorrow night, and it got me thinking, what better way to commemorate the new season then with the most unorthodox baseball videos on the net? We see SportsCenter highlights all the time, but now it’s due time to give credit to the video we won’t be seeing on the prime time highlights. These are videos only the internet could love.
