Josh Hamilton Makes History with Big Night at the Plate (VIDEO)

Hamilton Goes Yard... Four Times!

This may sound a little dirty, but I assure you that it is anything but. While watching highlights of Josh Hamilton taking it to the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday I kept thinking of an old song by Clarence Carter:

I stroke it to the east/ I stroke it to the west...

Why? Because that is what Josh Hamilton did. The man was stroking it against the Orioles; and when he strokes it, he strokes it well.

Hamilton gave Rangers fans and brass a taste of what they will be missing if they do not resign him after this season by hitting four home runs of Orioles pitchers. Each one was a two-run shot, incidentally with Elvis Andrus on base (new lucky charm?).

To top off the night he hit a double as well to bring his total number of bases to 18 for the night, a new American League record. He is the 16th player to hit four home runs in a single game (no one has ever hit five).

The Baltimore Orioles Are the Best in Baseball?

Baltimore Orioles celebrate winning 17 inning game against Boston on Sunday

The Baltimore Orioles have not finished the season with a winning record since 1997. They have made losing look so easy that fans this season have taken to running around the field themselves during many of the early games (in case the players were not sure how).

After the team won the longest game of the season to date Sunday by a score of 9-6, a 17-inning affair with the Boston Red Sox, a strange thing happened. The Orioles actually had—hold on—have the best record in Major League Baseball.

Streaking Becoming a Past Time at Camden Yards this Season

There seems to be an epidemic of sorts at Camden Yards, the home of the Baltimore Orioles. Out of the 11 home games that the team has played so far there have been idiots taking the field in four of them. I'm not talking about the team mind you, but misguided fans that for some odd reason think it is a good idea to run around the field in the middle of the game.

Apparently the stadium does have a policy for when this happens: circle the runner and then close the circle till the runner is apprehended. It sounds like a pretty sound plan, but something isn't working. These guys seem to keep coming out of the woodwork in search of their 15 minutes of fame.

Playing for the Orioles is Sucking the Life out of Robert Andino

Robert Andino over the last three years shows how much losing hurts

If you've ever wondered what playing on a constantly terrible professional sports team feels like, wonder no more. Baltimore Orioles second baseman Robert Andino is like the living embodiment of one of those silly posters that shows you all the emotions people go through.

Except for Andino, it's a year-by-year transgression from 'happy' to 'miserable.' Guess that's what happens when you go into each season knowing you're not going to win more than 70 games.

Baltimore Orioles Ban Batman From Ball Park (VIDEO)

Batman Takes a Run During Orioles Opener

Watch Video

Baseball fans in Baltimore have not had much to cheer about in recent years. The Orioles have won fewer than 70 games in each of the last five seasons. The last time they finished the season without a losing record was 1997 (when they won 98 games and took first in the division). Basically, for the last 14 seasons these guys have sucked.

So it is almost understandable when a young fan might become a little overzealous in his attempt to have a good time at the ball game. Add a few beers and it is entirely plausible that a fan might be willing to do something a little crazy for his/her own entertainment and for the entertainment of the fans--like jump the outfield wall and run around the field like an idiot.
