No sanctions have been issued in the sign-stealing investigation of undefeated Michigan, but it's reportedly already affecting head coach Jim Harbaugh. Michigan reportedly rescinded an offer that would have made him the highest-paid coach in the Big Ten and fourth among all college coaches — and the NFL will carry over any suspensions he gets from the NCAA, should he return to that league. We also check in on the latest news regarding the Oakland A's move to Las Vegas and hear from Hall of Fame MLB catcher Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez. A special advisor to the Texas Rangers, Pudge discusses their World Series run and what makes the organization different off the field.

In 1934 the largest weekday crowd in history watched the Tigers' win their 14th straight at Yankee stadium as Schoolboy Rowe notched his 13th consecutive “W”. One year later to the day, in 1935, the “Schoolboy” tossed an 18-2 victory over the Senators while going 5 for 5 at the dish. “Holy Cow!!!!” On August 14th 1942, led by the double play combo of Phil “The Scooter” Rizzuto and Joe Gordon, the Yankees turn a record seven double plays in an 11-2 win over the A's. The Yankees would finish the season with 190 twin killings... just 4 shy of the record they had set the previous season. On August 14th, 1902 – The Pittsburgh Pirates “Little” Tommy Leach hits two inside the park home runs at Boston.
