Don't look for flying saucers in the shaky video, though you might find what looks like a UFO. It's probably the fourth home run of the game hit for Daytona on Monday night by Chicago Cubs top prospect Javier Baez, who tied a Class A Florida State record. Baez went 4 for 4 with seven RBIs...

We've seen this scenario play out a time or two before. It's the one where a parent, sibling or all-around good citizen catches a foul ball and then hands it to a young child only to watch the prized new possession get launched back on to the field or on...
I've got some questions about these bobblehead dolls of Darwin Barney, the Gold Glove-winning infielder of the Chicago Cubs, which will be given away at Wrigley Field on June 1. Of the 10,000 dolls made, 1,000 of them will be gold!

Even the best laid plans are one misstep away from falling apart.
For Javier Vazquez, those plans were to impress while pitching for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic, and then hopefully latch on with a major league team as a result. Unfortunately, all it took was one twist of his...
