Tonight's offering in Costas at the Movies is 'A League of Their Own', telling the fictionalized story of sisters Dottie and Kit Keller, plucked from their farm lives to take part in the real-life All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.
Inspired by Mrs. SnakePit and the tubes of the Internet.
We're running the second in the series of SnakePit Movie Night, in line with the MLB Network's 'Costas at the Movies' series. This week, it's the classic foul-mouthed Little League story.

What do baseball players do in the off-season? Well, when it comes to new D-backs pitcher and Twitter god, Brandon McCarthy, the long winter hours are spent trolling Dragon Ball Z fans.

The Cooperstown induction ceremony this year will be brief, as for the first time since 1996, no-one was elected by the BBWAA. I find myself entirely happy with this situation.
