By his own admission, Wyatt Langford was the worst hitter on his Little League team. So he and his dad worked to turn him into a college star, a top Draft pick and now an anchor in the lineup of the defending World Series champs.
Athletics broadcaster Jenny Cavnar made history this season as the first woman to be the primary play-by-play announcer for an MLB team, and now permanent reminders of that milestone will be displayed in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
