Baseball's Worst Free Agent Signings Ever [1]

Josh Hamilton's $125-million contract got us thinking of baseball's bad deals

With the news that the Los Angeles Angels just signed Josh Hamilton to a five-year contract for a reported $125 million, it begs the question: Five years from now, will this be viewed as one of the worst free agent deals in history?

Rangers' Josh Hamilton Joins '4 HR Club' [17]

Everything there is to know about four-home run games

On Tuesday night, Josh Hamilton hit four home runs off Baltimore pitching.

How rare is that feat?

It’s been accomplished only 14 times since 1900; 16 if you go back prior to the turn of the century when rules were different. That’s four fewer than the number of perfect games during that time.
