Adorable moment Kate Upton gets souvenir baseball from Justin Verlander (VIDEO)

What's a girl gotta do to get a free souvenir baseball at Yankee Stadium? In Kate Upton's case ... usually nothing. But it doesn't hurt that her boyfriend Justin Verlander was in the house.

The supermodel was sitting behind the visitor's dugout to watch the Tigers take on the Yankees when Verlander pitched a little woo to his gal.

That sound you just heard was the entire Bronx exhaling in one collective swoon.

Mets fans razz Hunter Pence with creative signs (VIDEO)

The Giants pounded the Mets 9-0 on Sunday afternoon, thanks in large part to Hunter Pence's two home runs and four RBIS. The Giants rightfielder hit a two-run shot in the third, a solo shot in the ninth and added an RBI double as well.

So the Citi Field fans directed some of their frustration at the Giants' slugger with some creative signage all afternoon.

San Franciscans may not make sense of the implied disses, but New Yorkers know these acts are just plain sinful.

Here's the 2-0 razzing:

The 4-0 gem:

And the 6-0 finale:

A's go ahead with Yoenis Cespedes T-shirt giveaway despite being traded (VIDEO)

Yoenis Cespedes was once a bright star for the Athletics but, after being exchanged for Jon Lester and Jonny Gomes before Thursday's trade deadline, La Potencia will soon be a washed up memory in Oakland.

Washed up as in an old faded T-shirt sort of way.

While Thursday's trade seemed to benefit both clubs, it left the A's marketing department with an unusual dilemma because Saturday's game at Oakland's O.co Coliseum was supposed to be Yoenis Cespedes T-shirt night. 

So the A's decided to just go ahead and give them out anyway.

Lester, who made his first start for the A's in the giveaway game, weathered the awkward situation, for an 8-3 win over the Royals.

Meanwhile, Cespedes went 1-for-4 with a run scored in a 6-4 Red Sox loss to the Yankees.

Fan breaks arm falling from Party City Deck at Citi Field: Report

A fan broke his arm when he fell over a railing above an outfield wall before the Mets-Giants game at Citi Field Saturday.

The fan, identified as Nick Gambacorta, was standing in the area called the Party City Deck over an 8-foot wall when he leaned over the railing and fell. Gambacorta was reportedly trying to get the attention of a Giants player who had just caught a flyball.

“It just looked like he was reaching for something and then just fell over,” Giants pitcher Matt Cain said. “I don’t know if it was for a foul ball or what.”

Gambacorta’s arm was “terribly” bloody, said Cain, and he saw bone protruding through skin.

A witness said Gambacorta — who was on outing with local bus operators, supervisors and their families — tried stopping his fall by grabbing the railing with his right hand as he went over the waist-high railing. The twisting motion seemed to break his arm.

Security and medical staff attended to the injured man on the warning track in left field. They placed him on a backboard then put him on a stretcher before wheeling him though a gate in the left-field wall.

The Mets released a statement saying a fan fell from the stands and was taken to a hospital. The team didn't provide additional details.

Ohio lawmaker wants to celebrate LeBron James homecoming with specialty license plate: Report

An Ohio lawmaker wants to create a specialty license plate celebrating the return of LeBron James to his home state.

State Rep. Rep. Bill Patmon says he plans to introduce legislation within the next two weeks for the “LeBron James Witness 2.0” tag.

James, an Akron native, announced on July 11 that he was returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers, four years after breaking the city’s collective heart by signing with the Miami Heat.

In a letter to legislative colleagues, Patmon said the plate would “honor the return home of our prodigal champion.” The Cleveland Democrat said the plate would commemorate the NBA star’s contributions to the economy of Ohio and to its children and families through his charity, the LeBron James Family Foundation.

Ohio already has more than 70 specialty plates.

You can bet the inmates on the Ohio State Penitentiary assembly line can't wait.

McKayla Maroney tosses acrobatic first pitch (GIF)

Former Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney threw out an acrobatic first pitch at U.S. Cellular Field Friday night and seemed to be happy with her effort. And that's no easy accomplishment.

You remember Maroney. The 2012 U.S. Olympic gold medalist who made her "McKayla is Not Impressed" stare a meme sensation.

Well, here she is again before the Twins-White Sox game.

We'll give her a 10.0 for the cartwheels from the mound. But as for that six-foot throw ... we're not as impressed.

Disabled man sues Shaq for mocking him on Instagram: Report

It looks like only an apology and a phone call won't get former NBA star and renowned jokester Shaquille O'Neal out out of Twitter foul trouble this time.

You may remember Shaq's Instagram photo mocking a disabled 23-year-old man's selfie in April. Shaq's twisted facial expression mimicking Jahmel Binion gained more than 14,000 likes — with basketball player Trey Burke and rapper Waka Flocka Flame joining in on the teasing.

After a public backlash, the post was deleted and Shaq and Burke apologized to Binion — a man who suffers from hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia . 

However, the Michigan man has filed a lawsuit in Macomb County alleging that O’Neal, Burke and Waka Flocka Flame intentionally inflicted emotional distress, invaded his privacy and defamed him, Macomb Daily reported.

In the lawsuit, Binion claims the mocking photos "constituted a public disclosure of embarrassing private facts about the plaintiff" and "placed plaintiff in a false light in the public eye."

Binion was diagnosed with the affliction as a baby, a disorder which causes sparse hair growth, missing teeth and facial deformities. He was hurt to see thousands of Internet users mock his picture and deformities after Shaq's post.

The one-time Shaq fan said he struggles to hold down a job and can't work in hot conditions. 

Binion told My Fox Detroit: "I've been getting teased since I was yea tall — people laugh at me, stare at me.

"I was kinda hurt because I look up to him and I watch Shaq play basketball so I was like, why is he making fun of me when he's supposed to be this role model?"

The National Foundation for Ectodermal Dysplasias wrote an open letter to O'Neal saying "bullying is never acceptable," after many Instagram and Twitter users demanded Shaq apologize for the photo.

A few days later, after deleting the post, Shaq said he called Binion to say sorry.

"Made a new friend today when I called and apologized to Jahmel Binion. Great dude," he tweeted with the hashtags #alwayslearning and #MYBADCUZ.

He followed up with another tweet that said: "Had the opportunity to talk to Jahmel Binion yesterday and apologize about the post on IG!"

O'Neal spokesman Rishi Daulat told The Associated Press that the star personally wrote the tweets. 

Instead of hiding away, Binion has used the unwanted publicity to start a campaign raising awareness of his condition.

A Facebook page for his Hug Don't Judge campaign has gained more than 22,000 fans and supports anti-bullying and cyber bullying organizations.
