The Daytona Tortugas seem to have a knack for walk-off hits. Two of their three home wins this season have been of that variety. But it's going to be difficult to top the way Cincinnati's Single-A pulled off Wednesday night's 5-4 win at Jackie Robinson Ballpark.

IRVING, Texas -- Tom Glavine would take his chances of getting Tony Gwynn out with the bases loaded more than he would take his chances of getting up and down from 15 yards off the green. It doesn’t matter that Gwynn had a .444 lifetime average with the bases loaded.

Most dugouts around the baseball world are pretty much the same. You have the players and coaches, a collection of snacks and beverages, baseball equipment and maybe a few binders or tablets filled with any data you might need. But look inside the Princeton Tigers' dugout and you'll spot something

To see No. 42 on a baseball jersey today is to think of Jackie Robinson. It’s inescapable, with anyone in uniform every April 15 donning those digits. But before the 50th anniversary in 1997 of Robinson breaking the color barrier, when acting Commissioner Bud Selig stood on the field at
