Since 1999, the now Midland RockHounds have served as the Double-A Texas League farm team for the Oaklan...

Sometimes in sports – and in life – a story comes along that is almost to fantastic to be real, except that it is. If a Hollywood screenwriter had come up with it, it would be rejected because no one would buy it because it wouldn’t be believable. Vince Papale’s story is one of those kinds of stories.
An underdog from the suburbs of Philadelphia, Papale would defy all the odds and all logic to find success at the highest level of football. Born in Glenolden, Pennsylvania, Papale was a typical...
