Only nine players played for all three birdy teams:
Alberto Castillo    
Pat Hentgen        
Cesar Izturis       
Paul Kilgus           
Mike Morgan     
Corey Patterson  
Nerio Rodriguez    
Mike Timlin   
Tom Underwood       

Extra points to Hentgen for only playing for birdy teams (Blue Jays 91-99, 04; Cardinals 00; Orioles 01-03).

The 1971 Orioles rotation 
Another rotation chart, this time looking at one of the better rotations in baseball history, a four-man rotation, the 1971 Baltimore Orioles. The O’s used seven starting pitchers that season, four of which (Dave McNally, Mike Cuellar, Jim Palmer, and Pat Dobson) started all but 16 games that year. I’m kind of enjoying doing these, so maybe I’ll do more, of other noteworthy rotations.

This evening at the Skydome, Miguel Tejada grounded out for the cycle. I have no idea if there’s a proper phrase for ground out to 1B, 2B, SS, and 3B in the same game, but I call it grounding for the cycle…
