The Wild and Wacky from 2007

Interesting factoids:
• Who Needs the DH Dept.: It was just another year in the life of the Don't Call Us Devil Rays. Their DHs combined to bat .239 -- which was 125 points lower than their pitchers (who hit .364 in interleague play).
• Walk This Way Dept.: A free pass, huh? Tell it to the Cubs' Ronny Cedeno. He got thrown out April 20 trying to advance from first to second on a walk. (Tried to steal. Overslid the bag.) Oops.
Very interesting reading.

You know, I actually saw Greg Norton used as the DH for like 9 Tampa Bay games - he was the one hitting around .230 the whole season. I couldn't believe they left him in as the DH almost all year. Sad.
Apparently they should've used Kaz. :)
