Every strikeout by pitchers of the seven teams (, , , , Minnesota Twins, , and ) that Joe Niekro played for during his 22-year career was tallied and for 77 punch-outs, four committed sponsors contributed $36 dollars to the Joe Niekro Foundation. The Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros also made donations to the foundation on behalf of their former player. • The Arizona Fall League will have two games -- the Rising Stars Game on November 7 and the AFL Championship on November 21 – televised nationally on the MLB Network and online at MLB.TV. • Twitter and Facebook have infiltrated the Arizona Fall League; check out the latest informative tweets @MLBazFallLeague and the Arizona Fall League on Facebook.
