Partly because the baseball season is now in full swing, and partly because we agree that the current stance video for the Yanks doesn’t really do the team, or BSG, full justice, we’re breaking down the 09′ edition of the Bronx Bombers. Since we’re dealing with New York fans here, we suppose “Enjoy” may be a little too hopeful, so let the critiquing begin! (And Enjoy!)

The Twins are in this thing folks.  Their race with Detroit looks to be the only divisional battle left to watch down the stretch.  BSG was recently in the land of 1,000 lakes to entertain the Twins and enjoy the hospitality at the Minnesota State Fair.  We’re not saying the visit had anything to do with their current success, but hey it couldn’t of hurt right? Right?  Bert Blyleven, this is all for you.

Gibson and Puckett right off the top. Bravo! Secondly, while BSG doesn’t officially claim loyalty to a team, this one is a moment dear to the big man’s heart. So let us take this opportunity to remember Mr. Puckett for his time in a Twins uniform and for one of the most memorable HR’s in WS history. Enjoy!

Back to Back to Back to Back, and then Nomar walked off.  Sure, only Martin remains, but we think this bunch still has what it takes.  Enjoy!

You know who we love, the Milwaukee Brewers. And we’re not gonna lie, we’re pretty sure the feeling is mutual. Check it out as BSG goes on the field at Miller Park for a little pre-game entertainment in the warm-up circle. Enjoy!

Even in San Francisco, at AT&T Park for an NL West matchup, doing a best of the AL Central video, everybody still wants Youkilis. Sorry folks, he’s not in this one, but you will find, Alexei Ramirez, Brandon Inge, Asdrubal Cabrera, and the rest of the best stances in the AL Central. Enjoy!

If the Rangers catch the Red Sox in the AL wildcard race this year, you can bet this guy will play a major part. We’re certainly pulling for him. So to get you Rangers fans in the right state-of-mind (cause we know Texans have confidence issues) here’s a look back at Josh Hamilton’s 1st ever MLB walk-off HR from July 10, 2008 against the division rival Angels. Enjoy!

The big bad AL East. This is where it all starts and ends folks. And while it may be all over but the crying for any non-Yankees to clinch a division title this year, we wanted you to know that BSG hasn’t forgotten about these fellas. Scutaro, Aybar, and Markakis might not be names you’ll hear this year after September, so don’t miss your chance to see these stances in action now. As for Youkilis, we think he’s been fairly covered at this point. Enjoy!

The court jester lives by one rule: keep the court laughing. Fortunately for us the Rockies all have pretty good senses of humor. Whew. Enjoy!
