Chip Caray Joins Steve Levy With Bulging

((HT: SportsSouth/Blake Shoemaker's Vine))

Awful Announcing gets the credit for this one...

The Atlanta Braves Evan Gattis missed 17 games because of a problem with his back- something bulged...

But Chip Caray, calling the game, presented it a little differently...


That injury, and succeeding malaprop, always has us think of football

Oh No: MLB.com Tries Really Hard to Make Funny Evan Gattis Video

((ht: mlbfancave.mlb.com))

----sigh----

We really, really wanted this to be funny.

MLB.com's FanCave made themselves what we guess they consider a funny video/fake movie trailer "Secret Agent Oso Blanco"

And it kind of had potential.

I'm sure some Braves fans, and others will find this very funny. And though I consider myself a Braves fan who has thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the exploits of Gattis, one of baseball's best unknown stories ever, I just can't get behind this one. And for those who don't know, Gattis earned the Oso Blanco (White Bear) nickname, playing winter baseball this past year in Venezuela.

We enjoyed Ricky Mast's video, The Legend of Oso Blanco, much, much more.

You can watch that and compare RIGHT HERE

---sigh---

We still thought this video worthy of sharing:

You Knew It Was Coming: The Tale of Oso Blanco (Evan Gattis) Music Video

Well, maybe if you are an Atlanta Braves fan you expected this video. You had to. We aren't real sure about the rest of Major League Baseball.

Either way, for those not familiar, Evan Gattis, backup catcher and hitter who came out of nowhere (literally) for the Atlanta Braves is quickly gaining legend status.

From tomohawking a 97-mph Stephen Strasburg fastball at eye level, over the fence to pinch-hit game winning hits, Gattis's story is nothing short of miraculous.

Out of baseball just 3-years ago, gave up the game while in college. He got picked on a flyer late by the Braves and rocketed through their Minor League system, hitting the ball like nothing anyone's ever seen.

He gained the name "El Oso Blanco", The White Bear, while racking up extraordinary hitting numbers in the Venezuelan Winter League.

Now he has his own song. As performed by OSG Fave "Ricky Mast" with help via Photoshop:
