The 2012 World Series came down Sunday night to a one-run extra-innings lead being held by Brawley native Sergio Romo and Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera. Cabrera batted .330 on the regular season, but it didn't phase the San Francisco Giants' closer....

DETROIT (AP) — They entered the World Series a collection of stars rivaling any team in baseball. Then one by one, Justin Verlander, Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera fell short in the season's final test. It ended with Cabrera at the plate,...

What's better than being a World Series champion? How about being a two-time World Series champion. As former Florida State player Buster Posey wakes up Monday morning, he can call himself just that. Catching a called third-strike from San Francisco...
