Number One

Daily News says: While the percentage of major-leaguers born outside the U.S. dipped slightly from last year, the Mets had the most foreign-born players for the fourth time in five years and had a record high of 18, including natives of Canada, the Dominican Republic, Japan, Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico and Venezuela. Puerto Rico's secession is news to me, but I guess there's some sense in counting them among foreign-bornies. With Beltran DL'd and Delgado gone, I guess Pedro Feliciano carries the Puerto Rican torch. The Daily News really should use the Harvard comma.

Angel Pagan is also from Puerto Rico. Later

This would have been a little late for another Moises Alou thread.

Yes, it's old enough to have hair on it, but it's been long enough since I've heard it that I'll give it a BoP. Also, as far as how to describe this one, I like the Ted Berg-via-White-Stripes coinage of "Seven Nation Army."

We've got to be able to make ten here-- Valdes is Cuban, isn't he?
