I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the old parks that look great on TV (these days just Fenway and Wrigley) are nightmares for the players. Roger Clemens didn't like the facilities in Fenway; that...

Could still be a Sacramento-Tampa ALCS. :D Though given the records of both teams right now, that seems about as likely as a Sacramento-Tampa World Series.

Carl Yastrzemski had a few clunkers early in his career. Topps started him off in 1960 with a fine-looking card, then reused the same portrait on the following year's much less appealing design, and...
