Aroldis Chapman Wants '105MPH' License Plate

Did you know that Aroldis Chapman has thrown a pitch that was clocked at 105 miles per hour? Did you know that Aroldis Chapman would like you to remember this fact while you are driving? Well, if you didn't, Chapman is prepared to remedy the situation on both points by ordering new vanity plates, one of which is to read, "105MPH."

After an inordinate amount of research, I've found that in Kentucky, the state where I'd imagine his plates are currently registered (he pitched in AAA-Louisville), "105MPH" is either taken or not allowed. Same story in Ohio. Bummer, Mr. Chapman. After the jump, I have another vanity plate idea that you'll surely be interested in.

Minor-League Promotion Of The Week: Tribute To Scrapple

As we reach the leftover ends of the minor-league season, it's appropriate that the Wilmington Blue Rocks of the Carolina League paid tribute on Thursday night to something which itself, is basically leftover ends. Scrapple is a regional "delicacy" - and I use the quotes somewhat advisedly - popular in the Mid-Atlantic states such as Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, where the team is located.

But what is it, exactly? After the jump, we'll find out. Although those of a delicate disposition might want to skip to the next story.

Fan Etiquette: When It's OK To Stand Up At A Sporting Event

Thursday was the start of college football season, and given my slight (read: incurable) football addiction, I found myself wandering to the Ticketmaster web site.

The next thing you know, I had canceled dinner with a friend, dropped everything, driven 100 miles and was sitting near the top of the Williams-Brice Stadium upper deck for the Southern Miss-South Carolina game.

Ahhhhhh...football! It felt great. I didn't even care who was playing; I just wanted to see one of the first kickoffs of the season. I also witnessed what was probably the first fan ejection of the season.

Shortly into the first quarter, about five rows in front of me, a woman in her late 20s with dark brown hair and a defiant posture stood up and never sat back down.

No one else was standing up in any nearby section or row and it wasn't a big moment in the game. Yet when the people behind her asked if she wouldn't mind sitting down, she turned around and snapped at them.

Then it started to get ugly.

VIDEO: Fight Breaks Out In Stands At U.S. Open

The New York Post captured the moment better than I can: "You sure as #%&* don’t see this at Wimbledon!"

Surely, that is true. A fight broke out Thursday night in the stands at the U.S. Open. And there's video!

VIDEO: No. 15 Pittsburgh's Field Goal Exhibition To Force Overtime With Utah

If you missed it Thursday night, No. 15 Pittsburgh had a makeshift kicking practice at the end of the game to force a tie with Utah, 24-24. The Panthers kicker, Dan Hutchins, nailed a the 30-yard field goal to force overtime ... but Utah's head coach Kyle Whittingham had called a timeout to ice him. On the second attempt, Hutchins pushed it left. Party in Salt Lake City! ... only, Whittingham called another timeout. Hutchins then snuck the third kick inside the left upright, and it counted (yes, in college, you can call three timeouts in a row; the Utes still had one left but Whittingham opted not to use it.)

Oh, right: Pitt went on to lose in overtime, 27-24.

/looks around to make sure opposing editor didn't call a timeout ... the post stands!

If At First You Don't Succeed ... Rays Fan 'Catches' Three Foul Balls

I've been to more than 100 baseball games in my lifetime and I have caught one foul ball – at a Baltimore Orioles spring training game this summer. That's it.

Granted, it might have something to do with the fact that I usually sit in the cheap seats, but still, I haven't even been close to any others. A woman at Wednesday night's Blue Jays-Rays game had three foul balls hit directly at her seats and she managed to make a "valiant" attempt at all three.

The first, unfortunately, hit her directly in the face. But she didn't let it get her down, and recovered to catch both of the foul balls that came her way later in the game. They call that resilient.

I'll tell you one thing... I'd follow her into battle.

Eli Manning Reminds Us Why You Stay Vanilla In The Preseason

Jay Cutler made news by explaining to Chicago media that the reason that the Bears offense hasn't looked all that impressive in the preseason is because the playcalling has been conservative to the point of being "cloak and dagger."

You might wonder why not throw caution to the wind if none of it matters. Well, there's one argument that says you don't want to give early season opponents an easy opportunity to scout you. Another is that this kind of thing tends to happen when you run trick plays in the preseason.

Not that Eli needs a certain number of reps before he remembers not to drop the ball, but something always finds a way to go wrong.
