Before this post, when you searched for "sunflower seeds" on our website, only one result popped up. And that reference was minor at best; Bryce Harper's dad pitched him sunflower seeds to improve his hand-eye coordination. That was unacceptable to me.
Leader of the resistance and so-called baseball fan, Keith Olberman raised quite a stir on Wednesday night with this tweet.
Of course, Mark Reynolds is eating sunflower seeds. As many fans pointed out in their replies—please read through them—this is a very normal baseball activity. Baseball is great for many reasons (100 to start), but the fact that you can snack on sunflower seeds while playing is definitely one of them. I know Keith is a solid baseball fan, so I won't give him any more crap. We all make mistakes. Instead, here are my favorite sunflower seed baseball gifs.
Baseball is here! And more importantly, that means the over/under game is back. It seems as though everyone is an expert this time of year. Somehow we convince ourselves that we are better at predicting baseball outcomes than everyone else. Well, AFITB is putting that to the test for the third year in a row. Think you know more about baseball than us? You probably do. But go ahead and prove it anyway.
