  • Major League Baseball's I-Team
    Major League Baseball’s I-Team The I-Team is composed of players whose names contain enough unique letters to spell the team(s) for which they played. To select the team, the all-time roster for each franchise was compared to both its current name as well as the one in use when each player was a member of the team. For example, a member of the Dodgers franchise would be compared to both that moniker (regardless of the years when they played) as well as alternate names, such as the Robins, Superbas, Bridegrooms, etc., if they played during seasons when those other identities were used. However, if a franchise relocated and changed its name, the rosters would only be compared to the team name used when each respective player was a member. Using another illustration, those who played for the Senators from 1901 to 1960 were not compared to the Twins name, and vice versa. Finally, the most common name for each player was used (as determined by baseball- reference.com’s database). For example, Whitey Ford was used, not Edward Ford. Franchise Team Name Players Angels Angels Al Spangler Angels Angels Andres Galarraga Angels Angels Claudell Washington Angels Angels Daniel Stange Angels Angels Jason Bulger Angels Angels Jason Grimsley Angels Angels Jose Gonzalez Angels Angels Larry Gonzales Angels Angels Len Gabrielson Angels Angels Paul Swingle Angels Angels Rene Gonzales Angels Angels Ryan Langerhans Angels Angels Wilson Delgado Astros Astros Brian Esposito Astros Astros Gus Triandos Astros Astros Jason Castro Astros Astros Ramon de los Santos

    Contact: Wirz & Associates For Immediate Release (203) 877-5800 ([email protected]) September 30, 2002 SMOLTZ BREAKS ALL-TIME POINTS RECORD AND SAVES 55 GAMES TO TOP GAGNE IN N.L. RACE WHILE KOCH CLAIMS A.L. ROLAIDS TITLE Braves Romp to Third Team Bullpen Crown Atlanta’s John Smoltz and Billy Koch of Oakland, who likely will be key figures if their teams advance very far in baseball’s postseason, already have walked off with impressive individual honors by winning their respective league titles in the 27th annual Rolaids Relief Man competition. It was the first such award for both closers. Smoltz, who turned from a Cy Young-winning career as a starter to a closer late last season when elbow problems threatened his longevity, rang up the second best saves season (55) in major league history and edged Los Angeles flamethrower Eric Gagne for National League Rolaids honors, 164 points to 159. Gagne’s 52 saves are the fifth highest total on record. Smoltz was successful in his last 16 save opportunities to post the highest point total in the competition’s history, topping Trevor Hoffman’s 161 points for San Diego in 1998. His 55 saves broke the N.L. record and came within two of the major league mark of 57 established by Bobby Thigpen of the Chicago White Sox in 1990. (See Page 4 for all-time saves and points leaders.) Koch’s first season in Oakland after being obtained in a trade with Toronto was a workhorse-like campaign for the American League West-winning Athletics.

    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings January 16, 2015 CINCINNATI ENQUIRER MLB Network highlights the Nasty Boys, 1990 Reds By C. Trent Rosecrans / Cincinnati Enquirer / [email protected] / @ctrent MLB Network will look at the 1990 Reds and the Nasty Boys, the team's three-headed relievers, in a one-hour special on Tuesday. The second episode of MLB Network's "MLB Network Presents" hosted by Bob Costas looks at the team, centering around the Nasty Boys, Norm Charlton, Rob Dibble and Randy Myers. It premieres Tuesday at 9 p.m. and includes interviews with Charlton, Dibble, Myers and many others, including former Cincinnati Enquirer sports writer John Erardi. The release has some of the many comments: On the 1990 Reds team: Rob Dibble: For us, there wasn't a team we didn't dislike. … It wasn't just Randy and I and Norm. There were a lot of lunatics on that team. Norm Charlton: [From] 7:05 to 11 o'clock or however look it took, [we were] dead serious. After that, "Katy, bar the door." Barry Larkin: Our fans loved us because we went out there and we put [a] blue collar-brand of baseball on that field every single day. Paul O'Neill: I remember getting off to an unbelievable start. As a young player that had never been in that position, you don't want to pinch yourself and don't want to wake up. Marty Brennaman on Lou Piniella: The very first time he met with that team, he told those guys, "We have the talent to win a World Championship here and I'm not going to be happy with anything less." Jerry Springer: The 1990 team was really the first people's team because they were regular characters.
