ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Derek Jeter ended a home run drought of 161 at-bats in his final regular-season game against the Los Angeles Angels, and the New York Yankees kept Hector Santiago winless in seven starts with a 9-2 victory on Wednesday night...

Five-hundred home runs used to be the gold standard. Along with 3,000 hits and 300 wins, 500 homers represented some sort of Holy Trinity of baseball statistical lore. Any of the three milestones almost guaranteed you enshrinement into the Hall of Fame and an enduring legacy...

When I take a look at the two men I am questioning in this debate, I honestly never thought I'd have to ask this question. The track record speaks for itself with Albert Pujols - he was the ultimate model of consistency for a decade with the St. Louis Cardinals and one of very few players I would have ever considered giving the kind of money he eventually received from the LA Angels, which was $24

The Yanks and Halos will play three in Los Angeles Friday-Sunday.  New York was swept in Oakland and the Angels come off a series loss in Baltimore, so both teams are really struggling.  Here is a series preview.

LeBron James (now), Sidney Crosby, Albert Pujols (while with the Cardinals), baseball's Giants as a team, Derek Jeter through the years, Mariano Rivera, Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Mark Messier, Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan, Henrik Lundqvist and plenty more.  You get the picture.  When these guys step-up, their teams win and advance.

We haven't seen this much young talent coupled with players in their respective prime in Major League Baseball in an awfully long time.  Mike Trout and Bryce Harper are in year two.  Miguel Cabrera is still young coming off last year's Triple Crown...

Brian Kenny of MLB Network recently suggested that Robinson Cano should get $252 million after this year because he is worth seven wins per season in the stupid category of "Wins Above Replacement."  This category is almost as stupid as giving Carl Pavano $40 million over four years.  Why?  Seven wins in the regular season means nothing in the postseason if you don't hit and lead, which

You will not regret watching this video of a drunk girl falling all over the place during "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."  It's laugh-out-loud funny.

The Yankees (5-4) bats came alive for the rubber match of the three game weekend series against the Angels (3-6). They managed to get 11 runs across the plate en route to a victory. Yankees starter Ivan Nova pitched good enough to pick up his second victory in as many starts this season...

The Los Angeles Angels (3-5) shut down the Yankees (4-4) in the second game of the home opening series in the Bronx Saturday afternoon. Yankees starter Phil Hughes did not look sharp against the Angels lineup earning his second loss in as many starts this season...

One of the hottest names in MLB free agency is Albert Pujols.  We learned that a third mystery team was involved in the Pujols talks, and now it seems that they have won out.  The Angels sign Albert Puljos for 10 years and a contract worth $250 million.

One of the biggest free agents this MLB offseason is current St. Louis Cardinal, Albert Pujols.  The Marlins have officially moved to a new stadium, have new uniforms and have one big free agent signing in Jose Reyes.  They are aiming for Pujols now, but the Cards aren't giving him without a fight.
