Congratulations to the UMass Minutemen for starting their season 3-0. It's their first 3-0 start since moving up to FBS in 2012. They began 4-0 in 2007, while still an FCS school, before losing to Matt Ryan and Boston College (ranked No. 12 in FBS at the time). Next up: Sacramento State.

An MLB hitter batting .300 with 30 home runs and 100 runs batted in is a great season. Average that for 15 seasons and the player winds up with .300 BA, 450 HR, and 1500 RBI. Only these 12 players have accomplished that. Which players are most surprising to be included/excluded?

Dear MLB, this is a simple solution to the current American League Wild Card situation, and future problems like it: Create a rule that any postseason team needs to have a winning record. If the third Wild Card team finishes 81-81 or worse, No. 3 gets a bye to the ALDS. Simple!
