For those of you who didn’t read the text, we learned that in his first season, “Alex became such a hero in Cleveland that the mayor issued a proclamation at City Hall citing ‘his outstanding base stealing accomplishments and the recent excitement he has brought to the city.’”
Unfortunately, his bright star quickly burned out in Cleveland. After stealing 40 bases in 63 games in 1990, he stole only 27 (while being caught 17 times) in 122 games in 1991. He was traded from the Indians to the Pirates after 41 games in 1992.

Nerds Infiltrate Topps!
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009 by Nerdicus FinchFor those of you, like me, who haven’t seen a new baseball card since you bought that $5.00 pack of 1994 Fleer Flair, you might be interested in this post on the Yahoo! baseball blog, in which the author thumbs through a pack of 2009 Topps. I especially liked the Jerome Walton reference.
The cards are pretty hideous, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that WHIP is included as a stat category on the backs of the cards! I don’t know how long this has been going on, but I think it’s pretty obvious that nerds have infiltrated the upper management of Topps. What’s next, Donruss replacing “Rated Rookies” with “VORP Rookie All Stars?”
