Personally, I can't get overly worked up about a bunch of kids (who should be getting paid) trading memorabilia for tattoos.

How bad do some guys want to catch a foul ball at a baseball game? So bad that they'll drop their daughters in an attempt to make the grab, which is what happened at last Saturday's Marlins-Dodgers game. And so bad that they'll trample over their own kids to snatch a ball in midair, which happened at last Sunday's Diamondbacks-Astros game. (Thanks to Chris Waugh, of Weston, W. Va., for the link.)

In case you missed it, yesterday's Hot Clicks featured an item about University of Florida pitcher Brian Johnson, who was knocked unconscious last Saturday when his catcher threw the ball in his face while trying to throw out a basestealer. Also on Saturday, Baylor catcher Clare Hosack had to get stitches after fouling a ball off her face.

The college basketball season has been over for a while and Jimmer Fredette is on his way to the NBA. However, people can't stop making Jimmer videos. This one is quite spectacular, thanks to the addition of video game sounds. (Thanks to Matty, of Salt Lake City, for the link.)
