Back from vacation...
Bobby Thomson, who hit one of the most famous home runs in baseball history, passed away Monday night. In 1951, Thomson hit a home run, deemed the "The Shot Heard Round The World," which helped the New York Giants defeat their arch rival Brooklyn Dodgers and go to the World Series.
Bryce Harper, the top overall pick by the Washington Nationals in the 2010 MLB Draft, agreed on to a contract with the team just minutes before the signing deadline. Harper is somewhat like baseball's LeBron James, who he was compared to in a Sports Illustrated article last year. He is just 17 years old, and skipped his final two years of high school to get a GED and play baseball at a community college.
New York Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez is likely out for the season, as a result of a thumb injury that occurred during his domestic altercation. Sports Illustrated's Michael McCann writes about the possibility of the Mets' being able to void Rodriguez's contract.
