Can’t do just one. Two from the WBC and two from Japan

I have an 80-ish year old friend who was pulling for the Blue Jays for the same reason

Davey Johnson’s first managerial job was with Miami in this league. It folded midway through the season

The league’s there but they haven’t connected the “Sanchez” with Caracas with “Luis Sanchez” www.baseball-reference.com/register/lea...

IIRC he put a couple guys on and had the potential tying run at the plate

I’ll take another hit by pitch. Or a balk

Dan Boone pitched in the majors after playing in the SPBA

I saw him throw a rain shortened, five inning no-hitter against the Phillies in September of 1988

Times of London agrees

Took a quick look at his NBP cards over at Jambalaya. I don't think there are any cards of him where he's playing the outfield. One of my complaints about a lot of NPB cards is there's too many "pitchers pitching, batters batting" photos so there aren't many cards showing ANY outfielders fielding

I wasn't clear. I meant playing defense. In the outfield, wearing a glove.

Off hand, I don’t think there’s any baseball cards showing him in the outfield but I could be wrong

According to BB-Ref, he played 56 games in the outfield with the Fighters in his rookie year of 2013 but only 8 in 2014 and none in the other three years he played in Japan.

There’s baseball, just no MLB
