Mike Trout didn’t win the Gold Glove. He should have. I assume it’s because some managers felt a rookie didn’t deserve it. A rookie wasn’t worthy of such a high accolade. They’re wrong. The highlight reel doesn’t always tell the whole story but in the case of Mike Trout, it tells us enough. It tells us that this guy is capable of things other guys at his position aren’t. Let’s take a look at some of his best catches of 2012.
Earlier this week we were in San Francisco covering the release of the new, critically acclaimed Windows Phone 8. At the launch event we got to see Jessica Alba up-close and personal, got to talk with some of the developers and got our hands on the Windows Phone 8X weeks before the mid-November release. To cap things off our crew took a catamaran trip around San Francisco Bay to see the sights. We stopped by the Golden Gate Bridge then made our way over to Sausalito. Along the way we sipped cocktails and finished the night off with dinner at Forbes Island.
While you and I sit comfortably in our homes awaiting our impending doom at the hands of Hurricane Sandy, the media is out there. Working hard and, occasionally, failing miserably. We rank the biggest bloopers after the jump.
We loaded up a 30-foot RV with six of our friends and are taking a 700-mile road trip down to Charlotte, NC for the Bank of America 500 NASCAR race. For everyone in the RV, this will be their first NASCAR experience. What we know. #1 not many people in the New York City area have too much interest in watching cars go left for 500 straight miles. #2 the tailgate scene is second to none and it’s something we need to experience. Now the ball is in NASCAR’s court to turn us into fans.
The iPad mini should become one of the top tablets for people who have too much money and not enough places to spend it.

Back in February we told you that Google’s latest Street View expedition will turn its lens on the mysteries of the deep when it goes under the sea. In a partnership with University of Queensland and Underwater Earth, Google would help map Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Well, today is the day! Six coral reefs around the world, including Heron Island, a coral cay in the southern Great Barrier Reef, can now be explored using Google’s panoramic technology. There is still plenty of work to be done to complete the mapping process but this is a very exciting first step.
Stride and 7-11 teamed up to release the official gum flavor of Shaun White called Mintacular. We got to talkin with Mr. White about his passion for The Black Keys, some other tunes he listens to while on the slopes and how big of a jerk he was in Friends with Benefits. For being a sponsored pro snowboarded for more than half of his life, the brah was a pretty down to Earth brah. The kid’s got charisma and a seasoned vet at making the camera his best friend. Travis Pastrana is safe as the world’s Swiss Army knife of extreme sport athletes for now, because White is too busy with the two sports he already dominates. Although the idea of space travel did tickle his mustache, he’s content with being on a board with gravity holding him down just enough so he can pull off some serious air on the pipe. On the topic of medals and competing, he went into a zone and for a minute, you saw the focus in him. That determination you’d expect from the best snowboarder in the world and not the guy who looks like the kid you bought purple haze from on more »
Dressing for the role is a big part of doing the role. People need to take what you say seriously and credibility tends to sink with each mustard stain on your mismatched tie. Just because you can’t judge a book by it’s cover doesn’t mean people won’t try.
Since the beginning of time, or at least the beginning of beer, women have looked progressively better paralleling the amount of booze consumed. We always chalk it up to booze lowering our inhibitions and in turn, us accepting our fate as horny, primitive creatures. The truth, however is much more complicated and actually makes sense. The boost in self confidence, the increased need for sociability and again most importantly, we’re horny. via: Freedating.co.uk
So the RSVLTS.com office is training for Tough Mudder, more on that to come, and running is a huge part of the workout routine designed by our celebrity trainer Michael Olajide Jr. Up until last week my earbud of choice was the Munitio Call of Duty MW3 earphones, badass bullet shape and superior sound quality. But then Phiaton dropped me a line asking to give their PS 210 BTNC Bluetooth 3.0 Active Noise Cancelling Earbuds a try. When I’m jogging nothing is more annoying then the cord bouncing around and falling out of my ears. So how could I possibly pass up earphones that connect to my phone using Bluetooth 3.0 so there are no additional wires to trip over and are great for jogging, exercising, or getting my swell on. The Active Noise canceling lives up to the hype, it really doesn’t serve a purpose while running around the park but it is incredibly useful while riding on the subway. Comparable or a hair better than the Munitio’s so these are probably the best earphones I’ve ever used. At $150 the price is a little stiff but if you want to wear the best you need to pay a more »
Trick shot videos may just be the easiest way to gain views on YouTube. People will watch trick shot videos of absolutely anything! Basketball. Pool with a Hoobastank soundtrack. Football. Frisbee. Skyrim. Soccer. And now beer.
Project Gemini (1962-1966) was the second human spaceflight program of NASA and is where most of the learning and engineering was perfected before the United States headed to the Moon. The Gemini program is absolutely fascinating and is often overshadowed by Mercury (because it was first) and Apollo (because, you know, moon.) Here are some beautiful and fascinating photos from Project Gemini featuring many of the men who would one day go to the Moon.
Ask 50 NFL fans who their favorite player in the league is and you’ll probably get 50 different answers. Popularity at its core is so subjective, if only there was a way to scientifically rank popularity. Now there is. Using a ranking system we’ve developed that takes into account social media and web search rankings we’re calling Algorithm X, we’ve ranked the top 100 NFL players according to the internet.
What’s the first thing you’d want to do after you worked your ass off for years, generated domestic and international swimming pool hype, crossed the pond, nearly dethroned the king of fast-food-sub-sandwich-swimming, talked to the Lollipop Guild (Costas, Secrest), and flew back to your adoring America an athletic hero? If you guessed put girls in bikinis on your shoulders than you’re as much an American triumph as Ryan Lochte. No one is condemning Lochte, as he’s worked hard and he’s allowed to play hard, but even he has to know that What Happens in Vegas, Stays on the Internet. His grill wearing and “Jeah” saying antics garnish the attention he undoubtedly desires, and rightfully so because thats the kind of stuff us ‘Mericans are into. It’s fine by us, as the only thing holding Ryan back from being the ultimate Olympic hero is marrying a Kardashian. Captain America maybe not, but the role of Captain Blackout is accepting applications in Vegas.
The Cruz family has good genes. Although Monica doesn’t have the acting chops of her older sister Penélope (or maybe she just never got her break) she definitely has the good looks. Here is Monica for Agent Provocateur’s Lingerie Autumn/Winter 2012 catalogue.

Well we finally made it. 12 cities later and The Roosevelts have landed in Seattle ready to cap off the Windows Phone Baseball Bucket List Tour with a bang at Safeco Field. Safeco is one of those underrated ballparks with more ammenities than beats the eye. The retractable roof, killer sushi and an art scene that would make even the hippest of Brooklynites blush.

Saturday is the best day of the year in Manasquan, NJ. A dozen different houses each pick a country and throw a 45 minute blow out theme party for the masses. Then everyone crawls on to the next country. Pretty simple.
When you think of Angel Stadium images of the gorgeous waterfalls in center, fireworks after a win and a team with New York Yankees dynasty potential come to mind. When we think of Angel Stadium we think of all of that… plus the hottest moms in the country. Not sure what it is, but the level of hot babe moms in Anaheim trumps any other stadium in America. So all of that glory (the waterfalls, fireworks, moms) combined with the wide variety of signature ballpark food and great views from anywhere in the park make Angel Stadium of Anaheim a “Disney World for grown men”. The fact that Disney also owns the team makes me a little suspicious. Could Disney be planting hot moms in the stands to attract fans and optimize the ballpark experience? Conspiracy theory for another day.
While reading this surprisingly well written piece on fighting I learned there’s an actual term for getting an infection from punching someone in the mouth: fight bite. I can imagine someone hearing this predicament for the first time wondering how often people get punched while yawning. Not me. I’m just ashamed to know there’s an efficient term to describe my $1,200 hospital bill and a one inch scar on my knuckle. This is why blogs exist: so people can tell ridiculous stories for others to laugh at. Trust me when I say that despite my daily urges, I tend to believe that fights should be reserved for neanderthals. Read and learn, Friends.
If Blake wasn’t 6 when NBA JAM came out, I’d say this is straight from the game. Either way this is a tremendous job by SB Nation on replicating the pinnacle of my childhood in modern times. This video is on fire! If you watch it 3 times in a row, your computer explodes. Fact. (H/T) SB Nation

Three years ago today, the skiing and base jumping community lost an entrepreneur for both sports. Shane McConkey was an innovator and outside the box thinker, who changed the way we think about sport, combining wingsuit basejumping with powder skiing. A truly inspiring story. We’ll miss ya, Shane and thank you.

NASA strapped three cameras to the Space Shuttle’s Solid Rocket Boosters to give us an incredible first person point of view of the lift off, jettison 28 miles above the Earth, free-fall and splashdown in the ocean. A roundtrip flight that took only 400 seconds to complete. At minute 1:12 the Shuttle breaks the sound-barrier which is a cool visual.
