Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau are two players who will be prominently featured in the history of the Minnesota Twins. Each has won an MVP award, but together they've been vital cogs in what has been a banner period for the franchise, with six division championships in nine years during the 2000s.

Hunter Pence channeled his inner Hulk to blast the longest home run of the 2013 MLB season.

As Pence's San Francisco Giants took on the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night, Pence stepped up to the plate in the first inning with a runner on first and two outs.

The Cincinnati Reds are fighting for a spot in the 2013 MLB postseason, but here's a look at the chances that Joey Votto and other current members of the team wind up in Cooperstown some day.

Most of the players on the team still have plenty of years left in their careers, but a few are nearing the end of their careers. 

Cincinnati has plenty of talent on its roster. Many players have already entered the record book, and there are many bright years ahead for the team.

Alfonso Soriano had himself a whale of a game on Tuesday night, clubbing a pair of home runs in his first two at-bats to reach 400 career dingers.

The New York Yankees left fielder has been on fire, and J.A. Happ and the Toronto Blue Jays could do nothing but watch as they faced him.

Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson has had to endure a long season as his team entered Tuesday's contest with the Tampa Bay Rays sporting a 58-71 record.

Wilson will now have to endure a lot more than just a tough season.

Scott Boras is at it again, and this time it concerns Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper.

According to Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post, Boras has laid out a case for a 12-year contract extension for Harper:

The 2013 season has been disappointing for the Toronto Blue Jays. With the acquisitions of R.A. Dickey and Jose Reyes, among others, many thought the Blue Jays would contend for a division title.

However, Toronto has failed to meet expectations this year. Instead, they've had one setback after another.

Still, it's been announced that manager John Gibbons will return for 2014.

Rick Monday once made a great play, and now he's being immortalized as a bobblehead.

On April 25, 1976, during a game at Dodgers Stadium, center fielder Rick Monday, then with the Chicago Cubs, saw two protesters come onto the field with the intention of burning an American flag. Monday quickly sprang into action, grabbing the American flag away from the man and his son before it could be lit.

Alfonso Soriano clubbed home run No. 400 on Tuesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays, becoming the 51st player in MLB history to reach the milestone.

In this age of the 12-man bullpen, Major League Baseball teams scour the ends of the earth trying to find relievers who are capable of getting anyone out. One of the most coveted relievers is the left-handed specialist who can enter a late-game situation and get the big-bopping lefty out.
