* One Major League player sleeps with his bats.
* Hear about the error-prone outfielder who received a standing ovation for catching a hotdog wrapper on the fly.
* There was a four-day period when every American League game was rained out.
* A player pitches a perfect game and goes home to find that his wife filed divorce papers while he was making baseball history..
* In a special "Bat" section, we learn that each team orders 150 bats a year for each of its hitters.
