Note: Explanation of my math--in an effort to make the February 12 reporting day Al Oliver Day, I start at 27 (16 more days in January plus 11 days in February).
Back on schedule!
Yes, only three weeks!
Sorry, didn't do yesterday....
What a great pic of Romero! Thanx so much for posting!
Yes, only two more weeks without baseball!
I just realized Romero pitched a total of 95 games in 2008--81 in regular season, 14 Postseason, 68.1 IP in total. And then the World Baseball Classic the following spring. No wonder he pulled up lame in 2009 and was never really the same again.
And his contributions were important beyond the IP pitched. His 2008 1.6 WAR was 10th on the team.
And, in honor of his recent HOF election...
