Why back in my day…there was nary a peep from Alfalfa Anderson!

Imagine that you’re right-hander Daniel Hudson of the Arizona Diamondbacks, in the midst of rehabbing from Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery, and you take a break. You head over to the drug store where you find a pack of Topps baseball cards, buy them and open them — just like when you were a kid. Except now you’re a major leaguer, and there’s your card! A head shot. And ... the pained expression on your face looks ...

I know the DBacks were looking for more players like Kirk Gibson but I didn't think this was what they had in mind.

Oh come on, I just drafted him.

I thought the new, grittier DBacks weren't going to get injured like that pansy Upton always is?

This is why you want fat players. You can't strain fat.

ADAM EATON! He's still around? Oh, wait. Not that one.

Well now at least they have their built in excuses with Ross and Eaton hurt to start the season and Kubel struggling on a bum knee and Didi having a hurt elbow and no chance to help the big club at least early on.

Sub .:500 first half beckons

This.

And I have still never seen Adam Eaton play, meaning my one reason for watching games this year is on the DL.

Think Arizona will coax Dave Roberts out of retirement?

Dixie Walker, Dutch Leonard, Dixie Howell, Jim Walkup, the Harry Taylor Quartet, Heinie Mueller, Cy Morgan, and Doc Marshall all wave from the grave...

the Jose Santiago trio, Bob Sadowski, Mike Marshall, Steve Sparks and Dave Stapleton look on, while Scott Servais and Scott Service just chuckle.

Who could forget the great Greg Harrises? Two pitchers, three throwing arms.

Don't forget Bobby Jones. They even pitched for the same team (Mets)

Surely one of the Bobbies Jones can be found to comment?

EDIT: Soda yadda yadda

The Dixie Howells were a pitcher-catcher combo two times in 1949: May 1 and May 8... possibly on April 24 as well.

21 posts and no mention of Alex Gonzalez? Specifically, the one who played in that Marlins -Cubs series a decade ago.

George, Jack and Joe Burns also give a shout out from the great beyond.

There are the Bob Gibson's, too. Bill James said of the Milwaukee Gibson something like, "so-and-so hopes Gibson ends up half as good as the original Bob Gibson. He already he is, he can throw 48 MPH."

And looking at the career of pitcher Mike Stanton--well, Yankee/Brave/assorted pitcher Mike Stanton--I discovered he was traded for career-minor-leaguer Mike Jacobs in 1995. And then missed by a year being a teammate of made-it-to-the-Majors Mike Jacobs in 2005.

Also, I think the two Bernie Williams want in on this conversation.

And Javier Lopez and Frank Thomas. And Cliff Lee.

There are the Bob Gibson's, too. Bill James said

There are two Bill Jameses - not including the sabermetrician.

There are 4 Bob Millers. All were pitchers. Two of them played for the 62 Mets. For some reason, Casey called Bob L.Miller "Nelson".

36. Walt Davis posted on March 23, 2013 at 04:56 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Yet there is only one Bob Tufts ...

and the scary realization there are three Repozes

Ken Griffey

There are two Roberto Hernandezes and no Fausto Carmonas.

I still vote for the first of the 4 Bob Johnsons for the Hall of Merit!

two others both played in 1969-70 (one of them even pitched in 2 G for the '69 Miracle Mets)

40. RoyalsRetro (AG#1F) posted on March 23, 2013 at 09:43 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

There are the two Doug Mientkkiewiczes, except one pronounces and spells his name differently.

Will AJ Pollock start in center, and if so, do we get to use all the Mike Trout jokes again?
