Or alternately, all teams in a particular division?

Steve Finley and Derrel Thomas have the LA, SF, SD, and ANA superfecta.

Stan Javier has the LA, SF, ANA, and OAK superfecta.

Elias Sosa has done SD, LA, SF, and OAK.

Mike Aldrete, John D'Aquisto and Dave Kingman have done SD, ANA, SF, and OAK.

And the first to do it in the division as it was aligned throughout his career. When Nelson retired, he hadn't done it at all. McLemore's stop in Anaheim was prior to realignment.

(I've always sort of liked Nick Markakis...)

Denny Reyes, Shawn Estes, Eric Young, Chris Jones, Trenidad Hubbard, and Brent Mayne are some of those players.

Gagne started the season as part of "closer of committee" but that changed after he got that first save in Game No. 6, he was the guy from that point.

Herges was traded because they had a pretty good bullpen though they did not know who would close during the 2002 Spring Training, but with Paul Quantrill, Paul Shuey, Gio Carrera and Jesse Orosco already with Gagne and then adding Mota in the mix, this started a nice 3 year run of an excellent pen followed by an okay year in 2005 and better year in 2006.

21 They wanted longer games so they can sell more concessions.

No, throwing John Wetteland away in the deal for a washed-up Eric Davis is why we had to get Jeff Shaw.

And also why we had to get Todd Worrell before Shaw.

A better argument for a bad deal (okay not Pedro bad, but pretty bad) is the decision to not deal Karros when he had some value as a player with a low salary but he had hit a ceiling as far as much better he would be and promote Konerko to play 1B when he is ready.

The 1990's were a time when the Dodgers could never decide to pull the trigger on one philosophy, sign a lot free agents or build from within, the Rookie of the Years hid the lack of production from the farm system, (Piazza was drafted only as a favor to a friend of Lasorda's, Nomo wasn't really a rookie in the classic sense, Mondesi was signed out of the Dominican) the only 2 drafted, Karros and Hollandsworth, while solid MLB players, were not huge impact guys who led the team to any playoff victories.

Its funny but Broxton has the first real chance since Steve Howe to come up in the farm system and be a force in the pen and remain economically feasible. Gagne did it for a few years but he came up and pitched as a starter first. It took over 20 years to find another from the system to close the door.

I wasn't talking specifically of 1992 per se, just the fact that the Dodgers spent a lot of money and Paul Konerkos on closers throughout the 90s, when they had one of the best closers of the decade in their own system for cheap (at least the first six years).

Just thought I'd pass that along.

"If Colletti could flip any collection of spare parts to the Orioles for Markakis, I'd get his name and portrait tattooed on my butt. But I don't think that'll happen."

Andrew, you realize this could give a whole new meaning to having your tail in a sling.

And pictures. We'd want pictures.

On second thought...

But just in theory, does Loney have the tools for CF?

Trading for Davis never bothered me. It was the throwing in of Wetteland that bothered me. Of course, he did bring Kip Gross in return, who was our second-best pitcher named K. Gross that year.

But for some reason I never saw who. Anyone know?

Think I heard Clemente hit him reasonably well (for Koufax). ??

They have cut GT's lead to 22.

Guy: "Well, how many brides will you be marrying today, Mr. Simpson?"

Bart: "Just one."

Guy: (Makes disgusted noise) "What are you, gay?"

For guys with a long career, Henry Aaron fared pretty well, batting .372 from 1957-1966 against Koufax. He had a .644 slugging in those years.

Clemente batted .292 against Koufax.

Bob Uecker has always claimed to have hit Koufax well, but he was really 7 for 38.

Rico Carty must have celebrated Koufax's retirement as he was 0 for 18 against him.

Jackie Brandt was 1 for 21.

Jerry Kindall, who would go on to be a great coach at UA, was 2 for 28 and struck out 18 times.

Although it's missing two years, Retrosheet has Ernie Banks going 21 for 127 in his career against Koufax, although seven of the hits were homers.

Small sample size?

Dusty Baker was 11 for 69 with one home run. That home run was #30 for him in 1977 which made the Dodgers the first team to have four 30 homer guys on one team.

Bill Russell was 11 for 60 against Richard.

Ron Cey was 9 for 61 against Richard.

In his career, J.R. Richard was 15-4 with a 1.86 ERA against the Dodgers. That included five shutouts, one of them a one-hitter in 1980.

I don't know if the youngsters here realize how intimidating J.R. Richard was to the Dodgers.

Richard lost one game in October of 1974 to the Dodgers when they hit him hard.

The other three losses:
1975- Final weekend, 3-2 loss when the Dodgers get two hits, one of them a 2-run homer by Garvey to end the game.
1976 - A 2-1 loss in L.A. to Burt Hooton with Yeager and Russell driving in the runs. The other was a 1-0 loss to Rick Rhoden later in the year in Houston when Ted Sizemore had a sacrifice fly to score Rhoden, who had doubled.

Greg Brock if your interested Jay Jaffe at BP put together his JAWS for Bernie at

Just short, but counts the WS stuff and the "Fielding Grammies" (Love that term). Once again, first ballot Hall of Very Good, but I think he'll get in because he was a Yankee.

Don Mattingly suffers from having to play with guys like Dan Pasqua.

Did we already know about this offer...? I can't recall...

Ironic, given the topic of an acromonious split, that I'm about to finish watching the DVD of the indie film "Mutual Appreciation." (I think this movie is scaring me because it appears to be about my friends and my life.)

I'll start. Should Jason Repko be: Platooned, traded, or sold to a sweatshop in Belize?

95 The book was a let down, but an interesting read for the layman. Much like most of Crichton's stuff. He's a pretty polarizing dude. It was better than Prey, that's for sure.

Of course Kemp could have spent one year being a crummy CF, and then be moved over next year. It's so simple. What's one year of bad CF defense in the face of five years of Juan Pierre?

Nothing.

*But I'm not leaving

I guess I might seem kinda bitter
You got me feeling down in the dumps
Cause I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love
And I have to use the self-service pumps

In fact, I sang that in front of my 8th grade English class (we had to memorize songs of our choice to sing; one person daily was chosen at random)

Consider me a D4P fan for life.

I remember we had a feral child chat a while back.

Meanwhile, you might have made a powerful enemy somewhere else across the internets. I sense a great disturbance in the tubes.
