MLB reaches 2 million total runs when Minnesota Twins' Josh Donaldson crosses plate
The buildup to No. 2,000,000 certainly didn't equal the anticipation for the 1 millionth run. Hall of Famers Joe DiMaggio and Stan Musial were among the stars who helped promote the chase, which also drew corporate sponsors for the countdown.

Chicago White Sox's Tony La Russa passes John McGraw for second-most career wins by MLB manager
The Chicago White Sox's Tony La Russa moved into second place on MLB's all-time manager wins list with his 2,764th career victory on Sunday. La Russa passed John McGraw after his team beat the Detroit Tigers 3-0 in Chicago. He now trails only Connie Mack. La Russa, 76, came out of a 10-year retirement to take over the ultra-loaded White Sox after beginning his career with the same job in Chicago in 1979. He went on to manage the Oakland Athlectics and Si. Louis Cardinals before retiring the first time following the 2011 season. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014.
