With so many outlets for news and opinions, I've created this site as a simple way to view the latest MLB-related news and analysis. Instead of visiting 50+ different sites, twitter, facebook, etc...My thinking is it will be nice to have a simple & clean index of the latest stories. Blog posts are listed in the order of most recent posts first. Play Ball![Bookmark CTRL + D]

WEEKEND TRIVIA
QUESTION: The entire outfield of the 2009 Philadelphia Phillies will participate in this year's All-Star game. When was the last time a team sent 3 outfielders to the All-Star game? (edited)
Please submit your answer in the comments section below.
Overall, this is the 13th time overall that a team had three outfielders in an All-Star Game. The 1995 Cleveland Indians were the most recent to do it with Manny Ramirez, Albert Belle and Kenny Lofton.
First time since 1995 with the Cleveland Indians - with Manny Ramirez, Albert Belle and Kenny Lofton.
ReplyDelete1995 Indians
ReplyDeleteOnly once before for the National League: Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell and Al Oliver went for Pittsburgh in 1972. (AL was 1995 Indians)
