Well, with the current issues surrounding the United States in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd and almost countrywide protests calling for change the name may finally change.

Jason Giambi is old by baseball's standards. At 42 years old, he is one of the oldest active players in the sport. However, he didn't let that stop him from crushing a pinch-hit walk-off home run last night, keeping the Cleveland Indians at the top of the standings for the American League's second wild card spot.

Mariano Rivera is synonymous with Metallica's Enter Sandman after a Major League career consisting of well over a decade of entering baseball games with the song serving as the soundtrack.
