Best baseball news from Monday that you might have missed

Back in 2005, then Seattle Mariners catcher Miguel Olivo hit a home run into the left field bleachers that hit my aunt in the leg and left a large bruise. Last Monday night, Olivo, now playing for the Kansas City Royals, had another big night. Olivo tripled and homered against the Minnesota Twins to help lead his team to a 4-2 victory.
Above, Olivo receives congratulations from his teammates.

In other news, former Cardinals reliever Chris Perez (below) celebrated his recent trade to the Cleveland Indians by hitting the first two batters he faced - Alexei Ramirez (in the head) and Jermaine Dye (in the hand).
Below, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen and other interested parties examine Alexei Ramirez after he was hit by Perez's pitch.
