Holy cow! Talk about having a cannon for an arm!!

We're still not even halfway through the MLB season yet, but Oakland A's outfielder Yoenis Cespedes already has a VERY strong case for the play of the year with one of the most amazing throws you'll EVER see!

After misplaying a ball hit by Mike Trout during last night's game against the Anaheim Angels, it looked like Howie Kendrick was going to score EASILY!

However, Yoenis grabbed the ball in foul territory and

WHOA! Who says baseball can't be exciting??? (Almost everyone, and normally they aren't wrong! LOLz!)

A matchup between the Oakland A's and the Baltimore Orioles got surprisingly heated after Manny Machado lost control of his bat and flung it towards an opposing player!!

The third baseman claimed the bat simply slipped out of his hands, but the A's didn't seem to buy his excuse as both benches cleared for some serious pushing a shoving before things eventually cooled down!

So now the question is, did he actually do it on purpose??

This has to be the cutest little mistake we've seen in a long time!

A dad went to the Oakland A's game with his two boys over the weekend, and after the hitter hit a foul ball, it went into the stands, which allowed a nice man to catch it.

The man then noticed the dad sitting with his two boys, so he gave the baseball to him to give to his son.

But once the loving father gave his son the ball, the little tot thought that he had to give the ball back to the players, so he tossed it onto the field. LOLz

This is extremely HIGHlarious because the look on the tot's older brother's face was like 'hey! why did you do that???'

Guess the little fan will now know that next time he receives a baseball, he actually gets to keep it!!

Peep the folks over at Good Morning America talking about the clip (above)!!

Chris Perez, pitcher for the Cleveland Indians cursed out an Oakland A's fan before a game the other day.

Some fan was being a grade-A jerk and making fun of the player for being a bad relief pitcher. Perez (great name btw) couldn't handle it.

He snapped and said things like:

Oooh yes, you know you love it any time there's a chance to see new Brad Pitt photos.

Brad and company (Philip Seymore Hoffman, Jonah Hill, Aaron Sorkin, Chris Pratt, etc.) were all present Monday night at the Moneyball premiere in Oakland, California.

Fans of the 2002 Oakland A's were there as well, and Brad was stunned by the response.
