Where are they now? Chad Curtis
By Brian Waller - AngelsWin.com Feature Writer
If you are a relatively new fan of the Angels you may not remember Chad Curtis. It’s understandable; after all he only played three seasons with the Halos. Curtis can be described as somewhat of a journeyman, having played for six teams in ten seasons. Curtis was never the biggest, the strongest or the most skilled player on the diamond...

On this date in Giants history—Jan. 2
Happy birthday to former Giants Bill Madlock (1951) and Royce Clayton (1970).
1933: Kid Gleason, who is said to have invented the intentional walk, died on this date in 1933. Gleason, who played for the New York Giants from 1896 to 1900, is best remembered as the manager of the Black Sox in 1919. He played mostly infield for 22 years in the majors, with eight of those years as a...

Derek Livernois will last as long as the pyramids of Egypt.
My emotional and nostalgic attachment to former McCoy Stadium PA guy Jim Martin is no joke. Recently I met a guy whose last name was 'Livernois' and suddenly I heard Martin's voice in my head, proclaiming that Derek Livernois was now pitching.I remembered nothing about Derek Livernois aside from his name. I couldn't even pin down a time frame. Was it from when I first...

With Moneyball set to hit theaters tomorrow, Sony Pictures has the PR and marketing armada in full force, with the exclamation point being Brad Pitt on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week. “Moneyball,” of course, is an excellent book by Michael Lewis that tells the true story of Oakland Athletics GM Billy Beane and his (sort of) revolutionary sabermetrics system...

The Tony LaRussa Problem
This is the look we've all become accustomed to. So warm and inviting, no? (source: AP)
I was once a fan of Tony LaRussa. Admittedly, my love affair with the polarizing manager of the Cardinals was a brief one; it ended about a week before the start of the 1996 season. That was, of course, when Ozzie Smith was outdueling Royce Clayton for shortstop in spring training and LaRussa...

After a bit of stealth reporting, I’m pleased to inform you that veteran shortstop Edgar Renteria is not dead, is in fact still playing baseball, and — as indicated by recent remarks — is apparently a total *****.
Reportedly, the rich man’s Royce Clayton feels that San Francisco’s one-year, $1M offer to occupy a roster spot for a 16th season is “...

Odds & Ends: Hermida, Ransom, Chris Carter
12 years ago on this date, the Rangers sent Darren Oliver, Fernando Tatis, and Mark Little to the Cardinals for Royce Clayton and Todd Stottlemyre. Tatis was amazing in '99, while Oliver was solid as a starting pitcher. Clayton was pretty good for the Rangers, and Stottlemyre left as a free agent after the '98 season. For their loss, the Rangers got a supplemental...
