This morning on The Free & Hot Wings Morning Show, we spoke with former Major League Baseball outfielder and coach Mookie Wilson. Wilson has a new book out titled Mookie: Life, Baseball and the '86 Mets, which he co-wrote with Erik Sherman Berkley.

Things got a little awkward Wednesday during a Minnesota Twins news conference where it was announced that Torii Hunter was signing a one-year, $10.5 million deal to return to the Major League Baseball club after playing with the Detroit Tigers.

The other day, while cleaning his gun at the kitchen table, former Major League Baseball player Jose Canseco failed to check that the chamber was clear and ended up shooting his finger completely off.

The San Francisco Giants clinched a wildcard spot in Major League Baseball's postseason by winning Thursday night. This was a cause for celebration!

The Chicago Cubs are so bad their fans make better plays than the players.

Matt Williams, the manager of the Washington Nationals, does a weekly radio spot on a Washington, D.C., radio station. The other day, he was asked about outfielder Bryce Harper, who has been struggling as of late.
