Real or not? There's a new Mickey Mantle, Rangers won't make playoffs

We begin our nightly roundup with two items that sent shock waves across baseball.

There are some great urban legends in baseball lore. For example, there's the story that after Rickey Henderson was traded to the Seattle Mariners late in his career, he saw teammate John Olerud wearing his helmet in the field and responded, "Hey, I used to play with a guy with the Mets who did that." The joke being that Henderson played with Olerud when he was the Mets. That story was, sadly, later debunked. Another good one was Glenallen Hill reportedly landing on the DL after having a nightmare about spiders that so scared him he jumped out of bed and crashed through a glass table.
