Denard Span Hits His Own Mother With A Foul Ball During Spring Training Game

TAMPA, Fla. -- Minnesota Twins outfielder Denard Span hit a foul ball that struck his mother in the chest in the first inning of Wednesday's spring training game against the New York Yankees.

Wanda Wilson was wearing a Span jersey and sitting with about 20 family members and friends near the third-base dugout. Span, batting leadoff, took a defensive swing against Yankees starter Phil Hughes in the first inning and hit a liner right at her in the box seats.

A stunned Span sprinted from the batters' box to the stands and stayed with his mother while paramedics treated her. The split-squad game was delayed for a few minutes as she was taken to first aid, and the Twins said she was sore but OK.

Span returned to the plate with the count 3-2 and struck out looking on the next pitch. The Twins originally said Span would leave the game, but his mother was sitting in a different seat by the bottom of the first inning and he went to center field.

She was treated by paramedics and back in the stands minutes later, but eventually went to a hospital after being convinced by medical personnel at the stadium.

Span flied out in the second inning, then left in the bottom of the third, telling a team official he wasn't mentally into the game. Span and his mother spent time together after he departed.

The AL co-leader in triples last season was born and raised in Tampa. Span regularly volunteers to make the long trip from the Twins' spring training home in Fort Myers when Minnesota visits the Yankees so he can see his family.

What are the odds of this? 1 in 6,000,000,000,000,000??? Out of all the people to hit in the stands, you bop your own mother. Insane. I wouldn't have believed this story if I didn't witness it unfolding on live TV. WATCH VIDEO HERE

Granite State of Mind

Just got tipped off on this Jay Z parody video of Empire State of Mind. We've posted past parodies of Jay Z's Empire State of Mind and want to know what the freshy followers think of this one. Vote 1 star if you hate NH more after this video of 5 stars if you now want to move there.

PS- How long do you think it took this guy to make this video anyway? He basically sums up NH in a nutshell, but normally a parody comes out a few days or weeks after the single drops. Not months. Typical NH resident, behind the eight-ball on everything!

Erykah Badu Desperately Seeking Attention, Wanted to Get Arrested for Video

Provocative R&B star Erykah Badu wanted to make her "Window Seat" video even more controversial -- by getting arrested during the shoot. The singer/songwriter rips off her clothes in front of complete strangers in the promo, which was filmed in public at Dealey Plaza, the tourist hotspot in Dallas where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.

But she was hoping for some even more headline-grabbing scenes -- she deliberately attempted to get seized by police officers for filming without a permit. The promo's producers, duo Coodie and Chike, even had bail money on hand to free Badu from the cells when the shoot was over -- but the plan fell flat when local cops failed to notice the film crew.

Here we have another fading star desperately seeking attention by any means necessary. Stripping naked in public and pretending to be shot in the place where JFK was assassinated will certainly get you some attention. As will getting thrown in jail for such a display, which is apparently why Erykah Badu was willing to accept the consequences. It’s sad that her career has gone so far down the tubes that she has to resort to this kind of thing.

It blows my mind that some people can defend this disgusting display as art. If any normal citizen did what she did they would be prosecuted as a sex offender and labeled both un-American and a freak. Badu is mocking one of the most beloved presidents in American history in the place where he was tragically shot and killed. It’s not art. It’s sick.

Michael Lohan admits he is a bad father

Michael Lohan speaking out about his daughters drug problems and alcoholism. To sum it up quickly he says Lindsey needs family support and professional help -- yet again -- and ignores the fact that he should of stepped in before Lindsey got out of control. It's a pretty interesting video because he comes out and says his daughter has problems, but defends her at points in the interview.

One question for Mr. Lohan, why are you wasting your time with the public when you could be talking to your daughter about how she needs help?

Introducing John Forte

We've been promoting Wale & K'NAAN's show at the House of Blues in Boston tomorrow night here at F2DD. We've heard from our readers that they don't know who John Forte is and would like us to provide them with some information. So here it is: F2DD introduces John Forte --

Forte was born on January 30th, 1975. He is a rapper / producer who first made his name with the Fugees.

After the group split up Forte pursued a singles career with his debut album in 1998, Poly Sci, not getting much success. In 2000, Forté was arrested at Newark International Airport after accepting a briefcase containing $1.4 million worth of liquid cocaine; he was charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine and conspiracy to distribute.^[3]He was convicted and sentenced to the mandatory minimum 14 years after being found guilty, and incarcerated at FCI Loretto, a low-security federal prison in central Pennsylvania. With the help of Senator Orrin Hatch, Forté's prison sentence was commuted by President George W. Bush on November 24, 2008. He was released from prison four weeks later December 22.

Here's a more recent joint by Forte who collaborated with Talib Kweli on a remix of Homecoming

Kate Gosselin Wants Her “Dancing with the Stars” Partner Fired

Exclusive: Sources backstage at 'Dancing with the Stars' tell me the sparring between Kate Gosselin and partner Tony Dovolani that we saw last night is just the tip of the iceberg, and that things escalated so quickly that Kate insisted Tony get the boot from the show! However, from what I'm hearing, it's not Tony who's the problem. Inside 'DWTS' dish you won't get anywhere else, after the jump!

"Everyone involved in the show thinks Kate is impossible. We all feel very sorry that poor Tony got paired up with her. She talks to him as if he is her ninth child," sources tell me. "At one point things got so bad that Kate demanded that the shows producers fire Tony and get her a new partner. However, everyone would rather get rid of her than Tony, who is loved by all the staff."

During the March 29 broadcast, video showed Kate and Tony clashing during a rehearsal. Dovolani walked out on Gosselin after she questioned his technique, arguing that what he was teaching her was "wrong." Gosselin teared up on camera, and it looked as though she was going to quit. But they finally pulled through and danced the Jive for the show, despite Dovolani saying on camera that he should quit.

Tony has since apologized for his "quit" taunt, and now has decided he needs to keep on 'Dancing' no matter how "impossible" Kate may be. Unfortunately for the two, they scored just 15 out of 30 points, and may be eliminated this week.

This just in: Kate Gosselin is a miserable bitch. Oh wait, we’ve known that for awhile now. Incidents like this make it pretty obvious why her husband would cheat on her. She’s gotten a lot of sympathy from the media and feminists everywhere, but it’s probably time for her to look in the mirror.

What is Kate thinking criticizing Tony Dovolani? He’s the professional. He knows what he’s doing when it comes to dancing. Kate needs to just shut up because lord knows she wouldn’t want anybody criticizing her talent and expertise. Which is… what exactly? Somebody remind me why she’s famous again? For having a lot of kids? Her 15 minutes of fame has dragged on way too long. After she gets booted from “Dancing with the Stars” – which looks like will be happening in the very near future – she needs to go away for good, and quit exploiting her kids for fame and money.

Jesse James Mistress Video

Just came across this video of Jesse James' alleged mistresses. F2DD hasn't been covering the Bullock/James scandal because quite frankly we have no interest. A matter of fact the only interesting thing about the scandal is Sandra Bullock because she is so damn pretty. So basically what I'm saying this will be the only thing from the scandal that we post, most likely, besides pictures of Sandra.

PS - What the fuck was James thinking? I'm sorry, even if this girl is a freak in the bed there's no way - absolutely no way - she's worth risking Sandra Bullock for.

Daily Dumbass: Ricky Martin

With Ricky Martin coming out of the closet this weekend the next question that needs that should be posed to him: How much do you regret that tattoo on your arm?

Wale Visits DC United Practice

"DC's hip-hop star Wale visits D.C. United's training session and speaks to dcunited.com's Tony Limarzi about his passion for sports and music.

Wale will be performing before United's home opener on April 3 on the Armory Mall as part of the It Takes More Concert Series. His free show starts at 6pm and the game versus the New England Revolution begins at 7:30pm at RFK Stadium."

I don't understand why more MLS Teams don't take this same approach to generate a fan base.  Sure it's not a full blown concert, but teams are struggling enough to put asses in seats, why not bring in a local MC like Wale to spark your crown.  I know damn well that if Sam Adams performed before the Rev's game, I'd be there in two hot minutes.  

Daily Dykes: Juwanna Mann vs. Brittney Griner

Via Baylor's Player Bio: 

"Arguably Baylor's most decorated recruit in any sport ever... Ranked as the nation's top player by all of the recruiting services ... Dunked the ball 52 times in 32 games as a senior ... Averaged 33.0 points (1,290), 15.5 rebounds (608), 11.7 blocks (459), 3.4 steals (136) and 3.1 assists (122) as a senior at Houston's Nimitz High School ... Career totals include 3,114 points, 1,586 rebounds, 939 blocks, 268 steals and 198 assists ... Set a National Federation of State High School record when she rejected 25 shots against Aleif Hastings (Nov. 11, 2008)"

We all know by now that Brittney Griner is a freak of some hulk specimen who has single handedly led the lady Bears to the NCAA Women's Final Four.  My question to you is how is there not more controversy over this 'human'?  I refuse to accept the fact that is a woman until I see DNA records.  Listen, 14 year old chicks don't just sprout up like Giant Sequoias and dominate the NCAA tournament.  It's evident that the country is getting Punk'd harder than Justin Timberlake here.  Did anybody see the movie Juwanna Mann?  Griner is blatantly stealing a page or two from Juwanna's book of secrets.  I just hope that Griner's wig doesn't fall off after she throws down, exposing her true identity to the world.  But hey, who cares about Women's basketball anyways?

Ricky Martin: Livin’ La Vida Homo

In a candid blog posted on his Web site, singer Ricky Martin comes out, revealing that he is gay.

Ricky spoke about his fears, writing: "Many people told me: 'Ricky it's not important,’ 'it's not worth it,’ 'all the years you've worked and everything you've built will collapse,’ 'many people in the world are not ready to accept your truth, your reality, your nature.' Because all this advice came from people who I love dearly, I decided to move on with my life not sharing with the world my entire truth. Allowing myself to be seduced by fear and insecurity became a self-fulfilling prophecy of sabotage. Today I take full responsibility for my decisions and my actions."

The "Livin' La Vida Loca" singer continues, "These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn't even know existed."

The father of twins ended his blog post writing, "I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am."

Mark it down. March 29, 2010: the day Ricky Martin officially came out of the closet. Can’t say I’m surprised. If you were to predict homosexuality on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being Chuck Norris and Eminem, and 10 being Adam Lambert, Ricky Martin was at least an 8 or a 9, right?

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Is this Dude's Version of Telephone Good?

Continuing the trend of Lady Gaga Day here at Fresh2Death Daily, here's a spoof on Lady Gaga and Beyonce's hit single Telephone. This video takes a different spin on the telephone and turns it into a song for guys.

Donovan McNabb to Oakland?

The Oakland Raiders have emerged as the leading candidate to land quarterback Donovan McNabb in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, league sources tell ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The sources say all the ingredients for a trade are in place. Of all the teams the Eagles have spoken with, the Raiders have been the most willing to meet the Eagles' asking price. Last week, The Associated Press reported that the Eagles want a pick in the top 42 of the 2010 draft for McNabb. Oakland has a second-round pick that is the 39th overall selection.

One source familiar with trade discussions said no deal was done with Oakland. But other league sources predicted it soon would be done in a trade that would be the NFL's biggest offseason move.

And although McNabb has informed coach Andy Reid that he wants to stay with the Eagles and, if he has to be traded, would prefer to go to a winning team such as the Minnesota Vikings, the sources say the Eagles will do what they believe is best for team even if it means trading McNabb to the Raiders, a team with a recent history of losing.

The sad story of Donovan McNabb’s career continues. The man has been underappreciated virtually his whole career in Philadelphia. McNabb has gotten shit from everyone and everywhere, including T.O., his own fan base, and even Rush Limbaugh. I’m not a Philly fan, or even a McNabb fan for that matter, but he seems like a genuinely good guy; always says the right things, never been in trouble, plays hard, does things for the community, etc. He’s been an above-average quarterback – and I think it’s safe to say, a top-10 quarterback – throughout his entire 11 year career. He’s kept the Eagles as a contender in the NFC year after year, leading them to multiple NFC title games and 1 Super Bowl appearance. And yes, he has had injury problems and durability issues, but by and large he’s been a solid NFL quarterback, not to mention the face of the Eagles, for a very long time.

That is why it’s so baffling to me that a city could treat its star player so poorly, especially one with no apparent character flaws or image issues. McNabb has essentially been shunned out of Philadelphia in favor of an unproven backup in Kevin Kolb, and an aging, fresh-out-of-jail felon in Michael Vick. He’s taken more crap for seemingly less reason than any athlete that I can remember, and now to top it all off, it looks like he’s headed to the black hole that is the Oakland Raiders. In Oakland, he’ll be in charge of leading a hopeless team, and mentoring JaMarcus Russell, an overpaid, overweight loser with no work ethic. Not exactly the best way for the Eagles to thank McNabb for 11 years of admirable service. If I were McNabb I would leave town with 2 middle fingers raised in the general direction of the entire city of Philadelphia.

Lady Gaga Uses Chatroulette.....kind of

Apparently it's Lady Gaga day here at F2DD or something, seriously we did not plan this. With the recent sensation, Telephone, sweeping across America Lady Gaga is easily one of the most popular singers today. Anyway, take a look at this video it's pretty fucking funny if you ask me. I mean how much cooler would it be if you hopped on chatroulette and saw this instead of some guy stroking his dick!!

Lady Gaga's Daughter/Twin/Double?

Stumbled across this on TwitVid and instantly decided I had to post it. Is it just me or is this girl Gaga's clone? She even nails the bad romance chorus!

"Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah!

Roma-Roma-ma-ah!

Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!

Want your bad romance"

Vote 1 star for she is nothing like Gaga and 5 stars for she's out of the same womb as Queen Gaga.

Daily Dip: Giada De Laurentiis

Anyone who has ever watched Everyday Italian knows she is the PERFECT WIFE.  An angel in the kitchen, well spoken, bomb titties, she articulates like a mofo and she's rich.  What more could a man ask for? Any man who wouldn't bathe in a pool of Olive Oil with this broad should have their carrot chopped off and forced to eat baby food for the rest of their life.  

Justin Bieber Scoops Yet Again

Fresh2DeathDaily is officially jealous of Justin Bieber. He drives cars like this and kisses stars like that. It's absolutely ridiculous that this kid gets that much attention. On a side note I'm starting to get a little more than pissed about this Bieber character. It's one thing to be able to get any girl you want that is your age, but when you start scooping girls 10 years older than you that are my age that is the last straw my friend.

• Scalabrine- bringing the fire bush factor to the table while keepin' it real behind the arc.

• David Stern- Shit load of money and high head connects
• Sam Adams- Soccer playing rapper who hates college but loves all the parties.  
• Lil Wayne- Convict status that can spit it and smoke it with the best of 'em.  

If this array of baller's doesn't have your head rolling, then you've got some flat out issues.  You add the likes of a Giada De Laurentiis to put food on the table and S some D's and I don't see how we wont be running the world by next week.
