Baseball had back to back triple crown winners when Frank Robinson of Baltimore and Carl Yastrzemski of Boston did it in 1966 and 1967. And then baseball didn't have another one....until now.

A .405 batting average. Fourteen homers. 36 runs batted in. It would be safe to say the Texas Rangers' Josh Hamilton is off to a good start to the 2012 season. And, last night, against Baltimore, he joined baseball immortality...

Many baseball parks were built in the early 1900's. Only one has survived. Boston's Fenway Park has survived more  than one fire, and more than one attempt to replace it with another new, state of the art park. We've seen a lot happen there. ...
