It has been a historic week in Major League Baseball. Derek Jeter had his number retired, the collegiate West Coast League signed its first-ever female player and Aaron Hicks set a new world record for the most consecutive unsuccessful attempts at tossing a piece of foam in the air. (Sorry, Aaron, we know you've got a great arm.)
