Grey beardsOf the 15 remaining active Major Leaguers who were drafted in 1997 or earlier, four (LaTroy Hawkins, Torii Hunter, A.J. Pierzynski and Michael Cuddyer) were selected by the Minnesota Twins as Joel Sherman of the New York Post points out. That doesn’t include Kyle Lohse, who was drafted in 1996 by the Cubs but played his first several big-league seasons with Minnesota.

  1. This is really worth reading. Thanks for bringing it out. I do love pointing out to Met fans that I saw LaTroy on the losing end of David West’s perfect game at Yankee Stadium way back in 1998.
