DOUBLE X
Jimmie Foxx was one of the truly great sluggers in baseball. He finished with a .325 lifetime batting average and hit 534 home runs, second only to Babe Ruth until Mickey Mantle hit his 535th homer in 1968. He was one of only three players to drive in more than 100 runs for 13 seasons. The other two were Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.

Boras hints A-Rod likely to opt out of contract with Yankees CBSSports.com wire reports
NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez is ready to cash in. Again.
Agent Scott Boras hinted Tuesday that A-Rod will opt out of the final three seasons of his contract with the New York Yankees and seek a new deal in the free-agent market that will lock him up through his pursuit of Barry Bonds' home-run record.
On the Mark: A-Rod fails to shine again By Mark Kriegel
As it ended — the Yankee season and, in all likelihood, the Joe Torre era — Alex Rodriguez was asked if he had been redeemed.
"I don't believe in redemption and all that kind of crap," he said. "It is what it is."
His answer will stand among the few striking sentiments in all the postseason verbiage. It was what it was, an improbable coda to Torre's reign: Derek Jeter grounding into an inning-ending double play with runners on first and third, and A-Rod knocking the meaningless solo homer an inning later.
"I feel like we let him down," Rodriguez said.
With Sox up, Halos need some magic-Los Angeles hopes to turn series around on its home turf By Tom Singer
ANAHEIM -- The Angels have been here before, with their backs pressed against the rock pile beyond their ballpark's left-center-field fence. But it's been 28 years since they last faced the predicament.
Seeking American League Division Series shelter at Angel Stadium, the Halos hope to turn the home-field advantage of the Majors' best home record (54-27) into a Red Sox discouragement.
For the resumption of the ALDS with Sunday's Game 3 (3:07 p.m. ET), the Angels came home in an 0-2 hole for the first time since the 1979 AL Championship Series.
Don't look now, Pena's among baseball's elite
by Scott Miller
His 10th-floor Florida condo overlooks the Gulf of Mexico. On many nights, Carlos Pena cracks the curtains so he can see out when he awakens in the morning. The sun, the water ... oh, the sight of it all. So beautiful.
Yes, the view is quite different in 2007 for one of the game's greatest comeback stories.

This Kid is the Real Deal

ATLANTA (AP) -- Brandon Webb isn't one of those guys who claims ignorance about his stats. He knows as well as anyone just how long he's gone without giving up a run, and what he needs to do to reach an amazing milestone.
Well, here's the latest update: He's two shutouts away from Orel Hershiser.
Webb tossed a two-hitter for his third straight shutout and stretched his scoreless streak to 42 innings -- the 12th-longest in baseball history -- to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks past the Atlanta Braves 4-0 on Friday night.
Rizzuto, Yankees Hall of Fame Player, Announcer, Dies

By Dan Bollerman
Aug. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Phil Rizzuto, a Hall of Fame shortstop and 40-year broadcaster for the New York Yankees known for his catchphrase ``holy cow,'' has died. He was 89.
Nicknamed ``Scooter,'' Rizzuto gained a reputation as a speedy pest in lineups that included future Hall of Famers Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra. He was the American League's Most Valuable Player in 1950 and played on seven World Series champion teams.
