    Thanks to all the unfounded trade rumors, Jimenez has no idea what team he actually plays for.​Even a reporter for a high school paper will tell you, it's kind of a basic rule of journalism: Get more than one source and don't just print anonymous rumors.

    Tim Tebow didn't propose for Yankees' Nick Swisher, no matter what Wikipedia says

    Tim Tebow.​It seems that Tim Tebow is everywhere these days.

    George Steinbrenner almost bought the Colorado Rockies -- the other Colorado Rockies

    George Steinbrenner.​New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who died today, was among the most colorful characters in all of sports -- so much so that the satire of him perpetrated by the folks at Seinfeld sometimes seemed less loony than the genuine item.
