The 82-year-old Californian remained a joker on the country's high court, creating historic decisions on gay rights, religious freedom, abortion, immigration, positive action, the campaign financing and criminal procedure.

Defending champion Houston Astros also acquired an All-Star reliever Roberto Osuna, who is still suspended from the MLB for violating his domestic violence policy. While the controversial pickup meets one of the biggest needs of the Astros, the decision does not seem to be going very well with Justin Verlander.
