Rice again left his mark on the historic

OAKLAND -- It was McCann vs. McCann: the A's Kyle McCann and the Orioles' James McCann. Both are catchers, and in a bizarre twist, one McCann took the other deep -- but probably not the one most would expect. James was on the mound in the eighth inning of Oakland's
