Cuban Jose Abreu Breaks Rookie Records

Many baseball fans probably hadn't heard of Jose Dariel Abreu when he signed a 6 year, $68 million contract in late October. However, all that Abreu did was break the MLB rookie records for home runs (10) and runs batted in (31) for one month. Like a lot of other power hitters, Abreu strikes out very often about a strikeout every 4 at bats. He also leads the entire American League with his 10 home runs. Abreu is still 4 homers away from the all time one month record when Albert Pujols hit 14 in 2006.

MLB Players Go on Strike To End Steroids in Baseball

With the recent suspensions of Nelson Cruz, Ryan Braun, Jhonny Peralta and Alex Rodriguez, the Major League Baseball Players Association has announced that they are going on strike to end the steroid era. The last MLB strike occurred in 1994 when players held out for more money and there was no world series. Even though Opening Day was on March 31, players are willing to give up the beginning and maybe even the entire 2014 MLB season to hopefully result in an even playing field.
