It’s easy to say that MLB gets too caught up in its past and tries too hard to be the game it once was. A major part of baseball’s charm is its connection to its past.

Non-working showers, tiny locker rooms, and having to play for Josh McDaniels: NFLPA releases team report cards

Even players with two iconic runs have a weird bump in the road every now and then. We all know the Tom Brady stint with the Tampa ...
