It isn't very often that you see MLB players play a position other than what they're known for.

During his Hall of Fame career, there were two things Tony Gwynn Sr. did day in, day out. 1. Hit, and a lot. 2. Play the game with class.

Fox 4 in Dallas is reporting that Josh Hamilton's wife had to call security before Friday's game at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

The Rangers announced over the weekend that they have restructured the front office, moving Jon Daniels to president of baseball operations/GM and Rick George to president of business operations.
