After thirteen seasons with the team, the Minnesota Twins have fired manager Ron Gardenhire, according to ESPN.

Philadelphia Phillies fans haven't had much to cheer about this year. The team is 23 games back and is sitting in last place in the National League East.

With the Yankees fading from playoff contention, Derek Jeter's playing days are quickly winding down, which makes this commercial all the more touching.

A trio of legendary players and three World Series-winning managers were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. on Sunday afternoon.
