Hello!

For my favorite day, you're on my favorite day, you're mine, you're mine, you're mine, you're mine.

Good morning and welcome to episode 993 of Effectively Wild, the Daily Podcast from Baseball

Respectus brought to you by the Play Index, Baseball Reference and Arcade Trans supporters.

I'm Sam Miller of ESPN along with Ben Lindbergh of the Ringer, Hello Ben.

I forgot to bring this up, but listener named Corey did us a solid.

Remember a few weeks ago in Jason Castro left the Astro and we bemoaned the fact that

there didn't appear to be anymore.

Players whose names included the team that they played for, Alfredo Samoan being a free agent no longer a red and Jason Castro being a twin no longer an Astro.

And so Corey has created a spreadsheet with basically all the players ever who are at least of recent years, who have had a team name in them and then seen if any of them played.

And he found about, he found about, as 16 players who have at some point been affiliated with a club that their name was in, but not necessarily the major league club.

This includes a lot of minor leaders, but like Ray Sadler was a ray at one point and a lot of rays actually there's four rays, there's three angels, there's two reds, sorry three reds, two Astro.

Two Astros a met and he so then he has a whole bunch of what's the met the met was Eric Stammitz.

Okay, there's also some really like some, some ones that would have been great if they had come together like for instance for the Yankees there was Ryan Keifer.

But never happened, but he has Corey has three players who are currently in an organization, he's counting Simone.

So take out Simone, two players who are currently in a organization that their name is in, they are both long, long away from the majors.

So we're not counting them yet, but Angel Rosa or on Hell Rosa is an angel and Grayson Garvin is a ray both in the low minors and that's really all we've got in fact there's no other player on his there's not really a player on his list that you're even paying attention to who like might end up on a team.

I guess like Jared Cozart could be a red that wouldn't be that weird if that happened someday there any others Freddy Freeman could be a red course all the Freddy's any Freddy that you can think of could be a red but it's sort of a dry try terrain right now as far as this goes.

All right, all right and did anything you want to talk about just wanted to give a quick acknowledgement to another listener and a member of the Facebook group Chris Feld who did a very nice thing for another listener and the other listeners name is Nick Bentley and he was hoping to buy our book as a Christmas present for his father-in-law but it was sold out everywhere at the time and he couldn't find anywhere that would get it to him in Virginia by Christmas and then another listener in the face

of the Facebook group Chris he works in a bookstore and he found a copy that was in store in one of the branches and he shipped it to Nick in Virginia and he did not even ask for a charge as long as he passed on the favor by making some sort of donation to charity.

So he helped out another listener and he did it without any expectation of thanks or compensation in return and he also bought our book which is always nice so.

That is nice. Well done Chris. That's exciting. All right, anything else? No.
