As one historic scene played out at Safeco Field in Seattle on Wednesday afternoon, an equally cool scene was playing out over 2,000 miles away at Pringles Park in Jackson, Tennessee.

That's where the Jackson Generals — the Seattle Mariners' Double-A affiliate — play their home games, and as Felix Hernandez inched closer to the 2-2 changeup that buckled Sean Rodriguez's knees and secured his place in history, members of their squad took a break from batting practice to watch it all unfold on the "General Vision" videoboard.

Here's their reaction courtesy of the Generals Youtube page:

If their genuinely jubilant reaction didn't give you goosebumps, I suggest you check your pulse. That was flat out awesome to see, and I thank the Generals for sharing that video with us.

Of course the Generals weren't the only ones celebrating Hernandez's big moment on Wednesday. As our own Dave Brown reported, players in their division rival Oakland A's clubhouse at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City cheered loudly as home plate umpire Rob Drake registered the strike three call. And beyond them, you probably couldn't find one person in the game not associated with the Tampa Bay Rays that wasn't thrilled to see King Felix have that career-defining moment.

If you're already tired of hearing about Mike Trout, you're in for a long couple of decades. The now 21-year-old Los Angeles Angels outfielder, who's soon to collect a Rookie of the Year award and quite possibly American League Most Valuable Player as well, seemingly does something every game that's highlight reel worthy and more often than not makes your jaw drop in amazement.

That was the case again on Saturday, as even with his team down 7-1 in the eighth inning (they eventually lost 7-4), Trout went out all max effort for his pitcher Jerome Williams to bring back a home run ball off the bat of Seattle Mariners catcher Miguel Olivo. And if that isn't impressive enough, Trout also had the presence of mind to come up firing to first base to double off base runner Eric Thames with a perfectly accurate two-hop throw from 300 feet away.

A simply gorgeous play for so many reasons:

On Tuesday night we had a case of a disappearing outfielder as Washington Nationals center fielder Roger Bernadina momentarily vanished behind a support beam at Minute Maid Park while making a spectacular, possibly play-of-the-year worthy, game-saving catch on Brett Wallace's long drive.

On Saturday night in Chicago, we had a more common case of a disappearing baseball. Only it really wasn't all that common, because it didn't happen on the north side at Wrigley Field where baseballs often get lost in the ivy. This actually happened at U.S. Cellular Field on the south side, and it was quite a confusing situation upon first, second, and even third look.

It happened in the seventh inning with the game tied at six. Oakland A's shortstop Cliff Pennington hit a ball to the gap with a runner on first and two outs. The ball touches down on the warning track and takes a violent bounce, and then completely disappears. The umpires on field immediately rule a ground rule double, forcing the runner Brandon Inge to stop at third. But the mystery of where exactly the ball ended up brought out A's manager Bob Melvin to plead his case for his runner being awarded home plate.

Here's a look at the vanishing baseball routine:

Twenty-year-old Manny Machado has made quite an impression through the first two games of his big-league career. In fact, the rookie shortstop, who's currently spending time at third base, already has two multi-hit games to his credit after hitting two home runs in the Orioles' 7-1 win over the Kansas City Royals on Friday night.

According to Elias, the multi-homer game makes Machado the youngest Baltimore Orioles player to accomplish the feat, and the youngest player (20 years, 35 days) in baseball history to do so within his first two games, passing that other Manny, Manny Ramirez (21 years, 96 days). That's pretty crazy and impressive stuff, but perhaps no more crazy or impressive than the story of one particular fan who was in attendance and seated in the left-field bleachers when it all took place.

That one fan would be 15-year-old Adam Corder, who in the fifth inning was fortunate enough to be on the receiving end of Machado's first home run  — a solo shot off Luke Hochevar.

One inning later, when Machado went deep again with a three-run blast off of Hochevar, guess who ended up with possession of that baseball?

Adam Corder.

The young fan explains his incredible luck:

Trout knocks in five: After the Seattle Mariners jumped out to a 5-0 lead in support of Felix Hernandez, Mike Trout took it upon himself to dig his Los Angeles Angels out of the hole. First, Trout would connect for a three-run homer in the third, cutting it to 5-3. With the bases loaded his next time up, Trout would be credited with a rare two-run sacrifice fly (highlighted above) after right fielder Eric Thames' throw from the outfield skipped past Dustin Ackley.

That helped Trout tie a career-high with five RBIs — first achieved Aug. 30, 2011 in Seattle — and evened the score at five in the fifth. It would remain that way all the way until the ninth when Seattle reliever Josh Kinney uncorked a wild pitch allowing Peter Bourjos to slide home with the clinching run in the Angels' 6-5 victory.

Sometimes the best trades…: Are the ones you don't make. That's the old saying, and it might be the case for the Atlanta Braves, who ended up with their fall-back option in Paul Maholm and not their original target in Ryan Dempster. After a quality start in his Braves debut didn't lead them to a win, Maholm upped his game even more on Friday, going the distance and shutting out the New York Mets on three hits in a 4-0 win at Citi Field.

Machado's strong start: The jury is still a long way from reaching a decision on whether or not the Baltimore Orioles made a good decision calling up 20-year-old phenom Manny Machado this season, but the early evidence is certainly supporting their thought process. Machado, in only his second big-league game, connected for two home runs in their 7-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals, making him the youngest Oriole ever with a multi-homer game. He's also the youngest player in baseball to accomplish it within his first two career games.

You never know what you're going to get from day-to-day, sometimes even inning-to-inning, at Wrigley Field. For awhile the wind might be blowing in, knocking everything down and making life pleasant for pitchers. The next thing you know it's blowing out and every ball in the air has a chance to land on Waveland or Sheffield. It's as unpredictable as the rebuilding Chicago Cubs' place in the standings this season was predictable.

And then you have a day like Friday, where the wind is actually whistling in from the north at 24 mph, creating such havoc for the defenders on the field that every ball in the air is a recipe for everything ranging from runs to humor to potential injury.

Here's a little sample of the windblown chaos we saw on Friday afternoon:

Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker has seen his share of crazy wind games managing four years at Wrigley Field and also at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. Despite those past experiences, even he seemed a little bit surprised and even amused by the dancing baseballs created by Friday's crazy conditions.

(AP)When Vin Scully's name is written or brought up in a conversation, it's usually followed by the terms "national treasure" or "greatest of all time." He is without question the most universally loved figure in Major League Baseball, and perhaps in the entire sporting world.

If for some reason you need a reminder why most of the world feels that way, we have a perfect example for you, because Mr. Scully was in legendary form on Monday night while lipreading and translating the words Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy was directing towards umpire Mike Everitt after a controversial call went against his squad in its 2-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The play happened in the seventh inning. New Dodger Shane Victorino looped a soft fly ball into shallow center field that Dexter Fowler charged and appeared to catch. It was even ruled a catch at first by Everitt, the third base umpire. However, after a quick argument from Don Mattingly and an umpire huddle, the call was overturned. When Everitt attempted to explain the new ruling to Tracy, he went a little crazy, and Scully attempted to provide a PG-rated translation of his every word.

Here's a look at the play and the argument. Jim Tracy makes his appearance at the 1:06 mark:

Every baseball coach will tell you one of the biggest keys to executing a successful rundown is limiting the number of throws — ideally no more than two or three — because it reduces the odds of a mistake and also limits the opportunity for another base runner to advance.

But those same coaches will also tell you it's equally important to keep the ball in constant motion, while noting that every player on the field has a place to be when a rundown occurs, because every now and then you'll deal with a runner with exceptional lateral quickness, fancy footwork, and enough speed to outrun the ball and extend the play, such as Colorado Rockies outfielder Eric Young Jr.

The San Francisco Giants found out firsthand how difficult it can be to chase down a player with Young's elite speed and elusiveness during their 11-6 win over Colorado on Saturday night. After Young led off the game with a single and immediately stole second base, Giants starter Madison Bumgarner caught the speedster breaking for third and attempted to pick him off. Once his initial throw was received by third baseman Marco Scutaro, all kinds of craziness ensued.
