Here's hoping "The Wizard" has a bit more magic to offer MLB fans, because Ozzie Smith is teaming up with Budweiser for a campaign petitioning the White House to make Opening Day a national holiday. 

MLB Spring Training 2014: Team-by-Team Player Stats Tracker

It feels like just yesterday that the Boston Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals and celebrated a World Series title, but with Major League Baseball’s spring training in full swing, the 2014 season is just on the horizon.

Even now it feels like the regular season is light-years away, but MLB on Twitter accurately pointed out that spring training is where successful campaigns start:

What the San Francisco Giants Can Expect from Michael Morse in 2014

When the San Francisco Giants signed free agent outfielder Michael Morse on Dec. 17, the move signified Brian Sabean's desire to fix something that wasn't entirely broken. Yes, the addition of Morse to the lineup will surely bring power that would-be starter Gregor Blanco could never provide. The Giants have also struggled in the power-hitting department as of late.

Tim Lincecum Rocks Awkward Mustache for Photo Day

With the San Francisco Giants taking individual pictures for photo day, starting pitcher Tim Lincecum decided to not shave his upper lip, giving us this very awkward mustache that we will likely see throughout the season whenever he's on the mound.

Lincecum won't be the first Giants pitcher to rock questionable facial hair. Barry Zito used to have quite a strange mustache back in 2011.

Why Haven't the Atlanta Braves Added Jason Heyward to Wave of Extensions?

Oakland A's: Position-by-Position Breakdown of the A's at Spring Training

The Oakland A's have traveled to Arizona for another year of spring training camp. With returnees, new signings, freshly acquired players, prospects and a slew of non-roster invitees, it's time to break down the A's, position by position.

Most positions are all but locked up already but that doesn't mean others are short on competition.

If you’re looking for a unique piece of baseball history—or collecting evidence of the anger issues caused by rampant steroid usage—you missed out on a gem.

Dirk Hayhurst Cements His Baseball Legacy with "Bigger Than the Game"

After releasing two New York Times best selling books—The Bullpen Gospels and Out of My League—and one ebook, Wild Pitches, former big leaguer Hayhurst Hayhurst is back with his third book entitled, Bigger Than the Game. The book hit shelves Tuesday, but I had the opportunity to read and review it before hand, and it exceeds all expectations.

MLB's Riskiest Players for 2014 Season

To understand the ratings here and why these specific players are risky, first you must understand risk. This is not a general term, but a very specific term of art most closely related to the insurance industry. While we all know Flo and the Geico gecko, few of us have learned how insurance works or why it's so profitable. If you want to know why Matt Kemp, Derek Jeter and Joe Mauer—three of the biggest names in baseball with contracts to match—are risky, please let me explain before you blow up in the comments.
