I'm glad somebody's reading it. Slow day in baseball history. FDR became the 1st pres. to go to the ASG and this on another forgotten great: 1070... Rico Carty, the National League's leading hitter, becomes the first player voted to play in the All-Star Game as a write-in candidate. The Braves outfielder's name was left off the ballot that was drawn up by managers and general managers before the start of spring training. And this: 2008.... The Brewers trade four highly touted farm hands to the Indians to obtain C. C. Sabathia. The Brew Crew sends their first-round draft pick last year, Matt LaPorta, along with minor league pitching prospects Zach Jackson and Rob Bryson, as well as Taylor Green (identified as the player to be named later), who was Milwaukee’s minor league player of the year, to Cleveland. CC at his best. Better looking, but scuffling this year to stay under 5.00 ERA. I'm unfamiliar with those traded prospects. Did any of them amount to anything with the Tribe? It wasn't Taylor Green who went, it was Michael Brantley, who's having himself a fine time in Cleveland.
