"CF Vernon Wells had a strong reaction to Sunday's homer by INF John McDonald. "We cried on each others' shoulders for a good 30 seconds," he said. "It was one of the most amazing moments I've seen in baseball. It put everything in perspective on the day and on the game. When that happened, it gave us goosebumps." McDonald's father had died the week before of cancer. McDonald hit his first homer of the season on Father's Day."

Partly cuz he was tall and lean, unlike some of them?

P.S. Not trying to sound..."funny", but has anyone else noticed how baggy the pants have gotten? They used to be like diving suits. (except for guys like David Wells and John Kruk, of course) Think that has something to do with de-emphasizing the physiques, many of which would draw steroid chants? :p

The Angels have another relief pitcher named Francisco Rodriguez.  How random is that?

Yeah, it's funny when that happens. I've seen teams where they have to add the player's first initial to his name on the back, or even one time (with Isaiah Thomas, I think), were his jersey said Isaiah Thomas on the back.

And the Jays are on their second shortstop named Alex Gonzalez. (the current one has accents over the As, though)
