Clayton Kershaw made his season debut over the weekend.

Ted Williams is the last American Leaguer to hit.

George Brett watches the Kansas City Royals prepare to face the New York Yankees and remembers the combustible clashes of the 1970s.

The Phillies went to the World Series and the Eagles are playing in the Super Bowl, while the 76ers feature stars such as Joel Embiid and James Harden and are near the top of their division.

With this years picking set to start Wednesday night, Mike Schmidt remembers how it was when he was chosen in 1971. A high school shortstop in California named George Brett. Schmidt and Brett both made the Hall of Fame as third basemen -- when they were drafted, the hot corner was ruled by Baltimores Brooks Robinson.

1983: In what became known as "The Pine Tar Incident," Kansas City Royal George Brett hits a game-winning two-run home run in Yankees Stadium, but the home run is nullified and the Yankees given the win after umpires rule Brett had too much pine tar on his bat.
