What I know about the Toronto lineup for tonight's game without doing any research. (Inaccuracies neither pursued nor removed.):
Menechino, 2B - sort of sounds like Frank Catalanotto, but he ain't.
Gomez, 3B - formerly reserve forward for the Carver High basketball team.
Johnson, LF - no relation to LBJ.
Wells, CF - an underexposed talent, batting cleanup in place of injured Carlos Delgado.
Zaun, C - Geoff's nephew is now 52 years old.
Woodward, SS - Chris, or Bob, or something?
Phelps, DH - traded for Jay Buhner in the 1980s.
Berg, 1B - sort of sounds like Dane Iorg, but he ain't.
Rios, RF - first career homer was a pinch-hit shot with the Giants at Dodger Stadium, I believe.
Towers, P - Padres GM trades himself to Canada, puts on uniform?
P.S.: A little interesting that Dodger manager Jim Tracy has three right-handed hitters in a row, Lo Duca (5), Beltre (6) and Encarnacion (7) followed by three lefties, Ventura (8), Cora (9) and Roberts (1). However, Toronto has only one lefty reliever, so it may be of no moment.
