    yes, the only reason Billy Doran is not thought more is because Biggio more or less replaced him at 2b. Casey Candele 1 year in between

    I wish

    And I tried to get him to contribute early in the season but it fell on deaf ears

    Probably not old enough to have a credit card

    I had it on good authority that Danny Darwin (and my dad) could wreck a tab at the Cadillac Bar in the 80's.

    From Venezuela, number 7, Bobby Abreu.

    Wow, that was really a big mistake by the Astros letting this guy go as we did not protect him, Tampa took him, traded to Phillies and hit .312 after that in 1998.

    Of course, number 1 is Johan Santana, also a drafted player by the Astros

    At that time, we had a great program at Venezuela

    From Puerto Rico, 2 former astros, Ivan Rodriguez number 2 and Beltran number 5, interesting is they have Jose Cruuuuuuuz number 11.

    One time i had the pleasure to talk with Beltran, after the great off season with the Astros and i ask him, because i did not remember, what was the name of the pitcher that hit him in the ribs, and he could not remember the name either, lol After that i looked and it was Juan Cruz i believe.

    He is a great guy

    The Dominicans are incredible players and have a serious baseball culture, what's wrong with Haiti?

    They are very different, one was colonized by Spain, the other by France.
    One speaks spanish, the other french.

    Haiti is more involved in soccer (futbol) and basketball.

    He did not like Nolan, called him an "all hat, no cattle, city candyass". At least that's how my dad told it.

    Only Dr. Death could get away with talking **** about Nolan Ryan.

    I can't remember the game or opponent, but I remember him pitching in the dome and one of our guys had been hit in the previous inning and the benches emptied

    First pitch of his inning he threw right at the guy and was halfway to the dugout before the ump could toss him

    He was a true bad ass....American though so doesn't really fit the cangremethod

    lol, actually, my favorite player is Nolan Ryan.

    Never forget that 5th game vs Mets and Dwight Gooden, he pitched 9 innings, 1 run, 2 hits and 12 Ks

    He was awesome

    A lot of guys didn't like Nolan Ryan.

    The funny thing is that the name Dr. Death came from Nolan.

    Darwin and his wife Hilda were really involved in charities back in the day.
