Trammell's last hit came off Milwaukee Brewers closer Mike Fetters, and it brought back memories of his first hit, which was remarkably similar.

Controversy Surrounds Oakland Athletics' Retirement Gift to Miguel Cabrera

The Oakland Athletics gifted Miguel Cabrera, a retiring Detroit Tigers legend, a $90 bottle of cabernet sauvignon from Caymus Vineyards during his farewell tour. While the price and generic quality of the wine raised eyebrows, it aligns with the A's reputation for being frugal. Cabrera has had a history of alcohol-related issues, and teams throughout the season have given him alcoholic gifts. The A's have been the least spending team in the MLB and have resisted renovating their stadium as they pursue a move to Las Vegas.
