[bighitz124]

[ScottyUrb]

I love this guy's attitude about it! "Hey, it can only go up!"

[wtmpoppasmurf]

I hate this stupid cunt.

[snake00999]

that dude was so fucking baked hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[animator8383]

that guy must be really bad to be traded for 10 bats. i would be so embarrased if i were him

[litojonny]

he's dying inside

[seagate500]

Ladys a fucking bitch. She's part of the reason the poor guy killed himself

[australiafinest]

the dude seems so happy about this but he did end up getting hooked on drugs and killing himself after the trade

[marceltab]

@eipieman shut up edward

[timshow781]

THIS IS ACTUALLY A SAD STORY...THIS PITCHER ENDED UP LEAVING BASEBALL AND COMMITTED SUICIDE ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER AND MANY BELIEVE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THIS TRADE (IN SPITE OF HIS DEMEANOR)

GOOGLE IT

RIP JOHN ODUM

[CJhoop13]

@timshow781 On November 5, 2008 Odom died of an accidental overdose from heroin, methamphetamine, benzylpiperazine and alcohol (from wikipedia that doesn't mean he comitted suicide)

[litojonny]

i would trade john lackey for one baseball

ACTUALLY ILL GIVE HIM FOR FREE

[57rfx]

0:09 Clayton Kershaw's first MLB start

[LADodgerKid714]

@57rfx Nice that you caught that. Cudos.

[evhsMIF]

0:01 what will dana be doing??

[mriley858]

"The medical examiner said Odom’s death in Georgia on Nov. 5 at age 26 was an accidental overdose from heroin, methamphetamine, the stimulant benzylpiperazine and alcohol." Damn he really is dead......

[Methworld]

This guy's got one up on me. A trade that would include me as a prospect would likely include a jock strap, and they would negotiate new or used.

[cornelous13]

Well atleast it wasnt pine!

[xaqshuna2003]

Fox should trade Joe Buck for 10 toothpicks so Tim McCarver can get the cobwebs out of his throat.

[ttamhcs]

This is like in Semi-Pro when the player gets traded for a washing machine hahahah

[Mcburgerdennyfatkid]

damn...i thought this was funny at first but when i found out he killed himself...

[JW3Lawless]

a player was traded for bob sheppard (announcer [dead] for yankees, currently taped announcer for derek jeter)

[tng150]

So sad. This guy killed himself people no joke.

[movalcadillac]

Sage Steele is so fucking hot! I wish i could date her!

[scssp13]

This guy had the locker next to me on the Broncos and the media put him through hell. Perfect example of getting a story no matter what the cost. Never really recovered from the grief, didn't even finish the season with us. The whole scenario was a joke to begin with; and if you knew the GM for the team and the city, you'd get the whole picture.

[LucasP44]

Its really sad he died after

[308728492308728492]

wow, i though you people were joking when you said he died!

its really too bad, he was really funny!

[manfulify]

John Odom died in 2008 after an accidental Heroin overdose...Most people reasoned it was because of the fan reaction to his trading for bats...

R.I.P. John Odom. May you find a better life above than the Calgary Vipers could provide.

[eipieman]

he is dead. RIP.

[TheMasterg6]

thumps up if likes bar looks like a green pencil

[roddckfan01]

thats nothin i was traded fpr a gay porno

[pkwhs10]

[saladtosser9]

[edgarhernandez2012]

this is just the funniest thing ever! too bad his life was ended early

[someaccount00]

Cool Story Eh!!

[tmb85111]

poor guy, died from meth and heroin probably because of this trade and all the exposure so he was depressed and overdorsed hardcore

[jbizzle231]

how high is this guy?

[XxBEAST21xX]

Does anybody know that he died?

[behatimiranda]

this guy's great, he's optimistic :)

[caby24]

poor guy

[33Alakazam]

Optimist

[skinjaminbenjamin]

"i know what Dana will be doing tonight as well"

[lampliter25]

there's a rumor that a hockey player was traded for a team bus and a hot dog.

[champ1114]

Fuck the reporter. she dosnt understand this guy is actually embarressed. Fuck woman reporters seriouslyy. Stupid bitch

[michaud1992]

hahaha this guys funny

[ScrubHub1]

You can tell he is pissed...

[ClanTsGx]

What will Dana be doing tonight?

[millertime15211]

This reporter asks the dumbest questions

[JodyJody90]

Poor guy. The 10 bats he was traded for was never used by the team, and not even a year after he was traded, he died because of overdose....

[tojack27]

HONESTLY.. HONESTLY..

[DjBrieon]

Time to quit.

[largepandabutt]

loser :)



[youngbloody567]

he overdosed on heroin and alcohol... the bats that were traded for him werent even used.... fucked up shit

[lights15]

what will dana be doing tonight?



[MrNubjuice]

8 people only got traded for 4 shoelaces

[devinhester55]

I think this was the dude who killed himself

[ddawgs9]

This guy has sucha a positive attitude

[SemperFiUSMArines]

Wow this guy is a complete retard

[bobman212]

2:00 <---

:(

[KJT922010T]

John Odem killed himself 6 months after this

[mdstalla]

That dude was hillarious! I don't care how bad you have to be to get traded for bats, I fully hope this dude makes to MLB! I hear the Indians have hundreds of bats!!!!!!!!

[baseballcardude]

@mdstalla he is dead. he killed himself :*-(

[mdstalla]

@baseballcardude I thought that had to be bullshit; but I looked it up and you're right!  That's freaking sad; what an utter waste!

[XxSnipeZXxHD]

@mdstalla i know the guy killed himself so sad

[stonedawg16]

i hope they had to pay some damn money for those bats too. atleast the guy doesnt seem to get the clue

[check1twoproductions]

He was really thinking, "I really do suck if I got traded for fucking bats, I hate my life."

[PtbSunDevils]

What a waste of 10 bats.

[ediann]

I feel very sad for this poor guy. he was a very good sport about it. it is a tough way of life trying to make it in the minors. such a sad and tragic ending for this guy who seemed very likable. may he rest in peace.

[Necrodius]

10 bats for a stoner? not a bad trade I think

[Emilio0587]

Dang I would take a dump in the locker room floor before I left. Take that with a grain of salt.

[amarilo2]

i think the guy has a passion for the game and all he wants is to step on the field and doesnt really care about all the bat shit

[NCRedneck25]

and now he is dead, probably because this bitch making fun of him on his first time on ESPN

[screwyouguyshome]

thumbs up if u think hes crying under those shades

[ChevyManSS350]

that bitch is rubbing it in his face. Fuck you bitch

[ChevyManSS350]

I thought that this was kind of funny, but this guy killed himself over this. This is so sad.

[HummelSFHS4]

@ChevyManSS350 he actually died of an overdose on Heroin, but the trade is believed to have driven him back to drugs.

[mibsees]

I bet ESPN and his mom sent him moonpies then he got completely redeuced to minor league Z. plus that's just sad and pathetic

[TheSuckerCity]

that guy is such a douche....he know he sucks if he got traded for some wood.

[MrJackc8]

@TheSuckerCity he is dead now dumbfuck

[Garretyz80]

@TheSuckerCity he is fucking dead

[JuGGernaut81295]

he committed suicide, but i dont think because of this

[lilze96]

Traded for bats WTF is this the 1800's? A Semi-pro team gets on a steam boat, travels across the Mississippi river, hop on a stage coach, arrives at Laredo Saloon and trade a player for tobacco, whiskey, & a couple of prostitutes...SMH Come On!

[777myname777]

@lilze96 the prostitutes would be ur sister and mom

[lilze96]

@777myname777 I don't have a sister...my mom? I thought the prostitute was your mom!

[jdjdjdjd3330]

wow what a cunt reporter...why the fuck is she on tv anyway....a black, female reporter...fuck that

[Bloodnmyeyes]

Hey Maple bats are the shit lol

[callball15x]

TRUE BITCH

[lnsdrumline09]

I didn't believe he died either, but wikipedia confirmed it, he's dead

[Flipstaxx08]

thats fucked up man..dude ended up commiting suicide..

[jayjayjames2332]

This guy died of an overdose of drugs and alcohol. 

[isackthequarterback]

I would be embarrased to be traded for ten bats.

[Harimakum]

i want to see him pitch

[ThePitchersArsenal]

jonn odom died 6 months after leaving the team on an overdose of drugs and alcohol.

[CallOfDutyWiiCinema]

the person who was traded for bats died :(

[Rogentx]

The lady wasn't that bad, at least not as bad as people made it out to be. She was joking with him and he was joking back. Sucks he did end up dying 6 months later. I know had it be me, my esteem would have been completely shot as well.

[maplestoryproblems]

54,000 viewer =D!

[kickapig10]

this guy died six months later from heroine, methanphetamine, and alcohol overdose.. dont disrespect

[NomNomFood]

is he that bad?

[danmaster90]

this guy is dead everyone should know this

[SkateShoeReviewer]

he seems like a good guy, i would be pissed but hes chill

[SnakeGUY27]

Its sad that hes dead now

[heymy123]

@SnakeGUY27 i never new he died

[Revengegirl100]

The guy was useless to Calgarie because he wasnt allowed in Canada because he was charged for aggrovated assault...

[wwefanworld]

Fucking Bitch. Lets see you pitch.

[backdraftmagnet]

bitch = this lady

[erie555]

He actually died from drug overdose. It is a really sad story.

[Warcraft3108]

Oh My God He Killed Himself And Left The Team Before Because They Made Fun Of Him And Sh!t Search Him Up On Wikipedia!

[benjaminrsmith]

@empireworld06 Really? I would delete your comment, but I think It is a better illustration of how idiotic some people are. You managed to wrap up racist and sexist all in one comment. Please don't ever comment on anything I post in the future.

[empireworld06]

@benjaminrsmith OMG I WAS KIDDING!!!!!! CHILL THE FUCK OUT!!!!

[nono1641]

@empireworld06 and thats why douchebags like you have no friends.... nuff said

[backdraftmagnet]

@empireworld06 hahahaha thats messed up

[GENERAL1002]

@empireworld06

ur an idiot

[indiajag1]

dang!!!

[airjordan2346]

I heard that those bats were never even used, how shitty is that. And how terrible is it that his dad thought it was funny.

[clavin2007]

haha thats gotta suck if you were the dude they traded for bats or a turkey lmao...

[clavin2007]

@clavin2007 wow i just read the wiki about this dude after i posted i feel like shit now rip john..

[dremendous]

Never mind him...whats her name?

[shatzbutteryyy]

he killed himself later that year

[taylor23spisak1]

omg i heard bout this guy hes dead now from a drug overdose 6 wweeks after this

[grgmys]

lol @ 1:52 A feel good story, yep, that basically is what he turned that into all right.

[amaddb04]

wiki him. it's a really sad story. i thought it was funny until i read it.

[glaked23]

To be fair, he couldn't play for Calgary because Canada wouldn't let him in because he had a criminal record. It's not like he was just that bad

[JewJitzutTed]

lol this guy was soooooo high when he was being interviewed

[Bonemanbunny]

Search up MLB Minor Leaguer Dies after Traded for 10 bats! and you could see that the pitcher died

[andwat98]

poor guy thanks to those dumbass people he died.

[Chequelito14]

That Girl Is a bitch!!!!!

[jdjdjdjd3330]

@Chequelito14 no, she's a cunt

[studking341]

EL Dorado is on the map 

[NelioCuomo]

Yeah... Laugh it up people, Sage Steele contributed to his drug use and eventual death. I know people joke about "Did he die?" on Fail videos, but John Odom ACTUALLY DIED.

[bigtat1]

damn the whole stations laughs when he says welcome to my world

[xTEAMxiMODx]

Thats so sad. Come on

[xTEAMxiMODx]

Good for AROD.

[BickerBros]

Sage Steele is the dumbest black bitch ive ever had the displeasure of listening to

[habb]

this reporter sucks

[thrasherparty]

dumb bitch

[kvjhedfbv]

This sports reporter is a black racist bigot that thinks white men are worthless, less than human.

The US is a horrible country!

[Skduke52]

haha he must suck ass

[Emk4630]

So sad it was an overdoes of drugs like heroin.

[FightFireWithFaith]

Poor guy. I love Kasey Kahne! The started talking bout him at the end haha. Love him!

[amishbros]

fuck sage steele

[couchiedp93]

They're not sure if it's suicide but yeah he's dead.

[oracleofdelphii]

He should trade that herpes on his lip for something.

[perillivolcomha]

He shouldnt be laughing... It means he sucks

[A7Xfan525]

@perillivolcomha or he is so damn good that they couldn't afford to keep him...

[StoogeWatcher]

Only in the independent leagues would something like this happen.

[cvfootballer2]

Yes the guy really killed himself, there was a huge inside the lines report on it, sad really. Guess the guy was sorta made fun of on all his teams and never spoke up, until one day the last criticism put him over the edge

[insaneboy683]

John Odom actually died. No joke. Poor guy. He died not long after this.

[mattador2792]

This lady is a bitch, she's insulting him the whole time. I like how the guy handled it though. Did he get paid at all though?

[bifthebomb]

he comitted suicide

[DomWorkman]

dude thats messed up now the guys dead after committing suicide what a faggot for trading him for 10 bats

[XxYoungSmileZxX]

LMFAO u must b wack2 get traded4 ten bats

[tax2020]

This guy killed himself like a year later.

[Gazzu19]

is it true this guy suicide, the following year????

[nikkk7]

@Gazzu19 he did of drug overdose but there not really sure if it was sucicide

[Fuckmyfatassoneeye]

I dont get why people heckled the kid he was actually a pretty decent player, BUT side note I dont think that it bothered him that much about the trade to kill himself. He was just a junkie. Bottom line the team tried to trade for another player but that kid wouldnt go to Canada...don't blame him, the other team offered cash but his team didn't want it..so Bats it was...Imagine he didn't do the smack...he very well could've been in the MLB by now

[xGreenHouseVidiosx]

i live in laredo!!!

[muma0449]

i'd be pissed if that happend to me

[itsfunny2k7]

HAHAHAHAHAHA lol this is hilarious

[MrGangsterbitch14]

what a fucking faget why would you be happy about that

[kanyeezy24]

you know he committed suicide after this. he overdosed on cocaine and alcohol. inside he was severely depressed.

[kanyeezy24]

my bad it was heorin, crystal meth and a extacy like stimulant called benzylpiperazine.

his dad was sick and he said it killed him inside to know that he was embarrasing his dad and his family name.

[msutiger]

@MrGangsterbitch14 He committed suicide you douchebag

[Gazzu19]

I'm with you man, this guy says it like his proud.

man, thats insult to a player, its pretty much like saying: man you suck so much, that even ten miserable bats are more valuable than you.

I would be sooo fucking pissed!

[Cubsfan3493]

Man that lady was a bitch! "a rod is worth almost 500,000..." intending, "what are you worth? Ten? So you are only 10/500000 the player of a roid? How does that make you feel? It makes you feel worthless doesn't it? Okay here we will make it worth your while and we will give you your god damn moon pie! It will make my bitchiness worth your time!" I hope she feels like an ass hole because the last words she said to him were rude now that he is dead.

[ChronicDaHedgehog]

another FML

[baseballsam7272777]

"...story i'll be able to tell my kids one day" lmao that's so fucked up

[TheSrikeOutCards]

I bet this trade is what made him go back to drinking and drugs and eventually killed him.

[basfrk11]

just look at the guy he was on drugs long before and during this time

[TheSrikeOutCards]

Maybe so, but this probably added to it.

[cdizzzzle]

Yea this guy OD'd on herion and alchohal. Not really a very funny story anymore.

[wutangclann420]

its fucked up.. this kid killed himself within the last year.. ESPN the mag did a story about it.. he did kinda suck why they traded him like that, he started playing better got moved up in the minor leagues then killed himself.. tradegy

[Tdogg447]

the just the title of this video maks me laugh hahahahahahaha

[hcjhjh]

did he ever get his moonpie????

[FunWhileGunDenial]

holy fuck he honestly killed himself not soly bc of this but this contributed to it

[ThEDerKMasteR]

he killed himself seriously

[MrBballkid54]

did he really kill himself?

[alenrox20]

yea

[chickendeuce54]

no he overdosed

[ptschafer]

I wonder if his previous team knew about his drug use, which led to the humiliating trade terms. Sad story either way, I think the ESPN anchor took the interview too long and too far.
