Has there ever been a better SS/2B duo than Mark Lemke and Jeff Blauser?
Question:I remember those guys used to get after it for the Braves in the 90s.
Answers:
There are some great ones.
The latest to combo to both win a gold glove in the same year was Edgar Rentería and Fernando Viña (St. Louis Cardinals)
Others that I know accomplished that feat were:
Omar Vizquel and Roberto Alomar (Cleveland Indians)
Dave Concepción and Joe Morgan (Cincinnati Reds)
Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker (Detroit Tigers)
Luis Aparicio and Nellie Fox (Chicago White Sox)
Gene Alley and Bill Mazeroski (Pittsburgh Pirates)
Mark Belanger and Bobby Grich (Baltimore Orioles)
If I had to pick just one, I'd go with Vizquel and Alomar
I know ESPN won't say this because bias.. But does anyone fear the Anaheim Angels? 6 game lead?
Omar Vizquel and Roberto Alomar.The Giants had Jose Uribe and Robby Thompson. They were pretty good.

The longest SS/2B duo was Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker, 18 years for the Tigers. I would have to say they were the best fielding duo as well. They hold the AL record, playing together in 1,918 games. They also set the major league record by turning more double plays than any other shortstop-second baseman combination in the history of professional baseball. They both won Gold Gloves in the same season, two seasons in a row ('83-84). They combined for 7 Gold Gloves and 11 All-Star games.Anybody have a baseball glove?

I like the Dave Concepcion and Joe Morgan duo but playing at the same time were my favorite Davey Lopes and Bill Russell.What does it mean to be called up from minors-not to report?
No there hasn't !Who is better the Yankees or the Rockies?
yup Reyes and Valentin from the mets! they got so many double plays this year!Roger Clemens to the Yankees... They are a World Series team now?! NOT!?
For 4 months in 1993, Roberto Alomar played alongside Tony Fernandez. They ended up with 14 Gold Gloves between them, compared to NONE for either Lemke or Blauser. Oh, and Fernandez and Alomar won helped to win a World Series, which again, is something that Lemke and Blauser can't say of themselves. Sorry, but Blauser wasn't on the WS roster in '95.OK, if you don't like that combination, how about Dave Concepcion and Joe Morgan, who played side-by-side from 1972 - 1979 and WS victories in '75 and '76.
Perhaps Trammel and Whitaker?
