In the National League, Braves reliever Craig Kimbrel is the winner after setting a new rookie record with 46 saves. 2013 - Major League Baseball owners agree to fund an expanded video review system in 2014. The plan, which would allow managers to challenge almost any call by umpires except for balls and strikes, still needs to gain approval from the Players Association and Umpires Union."
"2023 - Peter Seidler, owner and team President of the San Diego Padres, passes away at age 63; he had been fighting non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Under his leadership, the Padres became big spenders on the free agent market, made the postseason in both 2020 and 2022, and while they were a disappointment on the field last season, still drew a franchise record 3.7 million fans to Petco Park."
