Question:
Answers:
Who pays for the World Series rings? The winning team, or MLB?
Alan trammell and Lou Whitaker of the Detroit tigersAlthough his arm was not overpowering, he had a quick release and made accurate throws. Trammell's solid, steady defense perfectly complemented the play of his double play partner, Lou Whitaker, with whom Trammell formed the most enduring keystone-combination in Major League Baseball history
Which current NL Pitcher struggles the most while pitching to opposing pitchers?
Looks statistically like Ripken and Alomar.Well, technically speaking it should be Rey Ordonez and Edgardo Alfonzo from the Mets of a while back. Actually that entire infield was the best defensive infield ever assembled with Robin Ventura at third and John Olerud at first, strictly based on amount errors committed. Honorable mention definitely goes to Roberto Alomar and Omar Vizquel when they were on the Cleveland Indians about 6-7 years ago.

Tinkers to Evers to Chance.There are a lot of famous ones though. Whitaker and Trammel had the most double plays. Ripken and Alomar statistically are way up there. You could put a boulder at short next to Mazeroski and I think he'd still turn a double play.
But how many guys have poems written about them, lamenting their skill with the double play?
Will any team in major league baseball win 100 games in 2007...?
No one will agree on any one combination and I am from the old school. How about Tinkers-to-Evers-to-Chance?Who would you rather have on your team Jose Reyes (NYM) or Derek Jeter (NYY)?
The late 70's thru mid 80's combo of Davey Lopes and Bill Russell. One of the most cohesive infields of all time.Are all baseball players this disgusting?
Omar Vizquel and Roberto Alomar for the Indians.Are Bonds and Clemens in MLB 07 The Show?
Roberto Alomar and Omar Vizquel with the indians in the late 90's...19 gold gloves (10 for Alomar/9 for Omar) though they weren't all when they played together obviously...
but for those few years, they were unbelievable.
When exactly is the infield fly rule called?
mike gallego and walt weissWhat can the MLB do to make better calls in the outfield?
I had the great satsifactionof watching Roberto Alomar and Omar Vizquel night after night for 3 seasons. It won't and it didn't get any better then that. Both of these players went after balls that other 2nd baseman and shortstops would not even break on. Barehands and diving stops and double plays night after night. Both were artists at their positions-Omar Vizquel is one of the top 2 defensive SS in the history of MLB. Alomar was a freaking magician. As far as being paired up with Ripken in Baltimore-Ripken couldn't glove on his best day like Omar. And even mentioning Ordonez and Alfonzo with Robbie and Omar is baseball sacrillege. Any errors Omar and Robbie had were on balls jnobody else in baseball would try for--and scorers scored them errors due to their reputations for snagging anything and everything hit up the middle. In fact in the late 1990's you didn't get a ball up the middle on the Indians infield. You were an automatic out.More Questions & Answers...
