I tried to read the names and make due. I think that I correctly interpreted Vander Meer as one of the pitchers, but I really question your putting in The Dalai Lama at shortstop. At his age he should be the DH.

The Royals lost catcher Darren Daulton for 5 days with concussion like symptoms after taking a foul ball off the mask. Manager Gene Mauch has called up Gilly Campbell.
Amish Assassins OF Reggie Jackson was suspended for 5 games after he was HBP and escalated a bench clearing incident. Tommy Lasorda has called up Ken Griffey Sr.
@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
Winningest manager without a pennant or WS; hopefully Mauch can get his club turned around. Maybe the Campbell call-up is the catalyst.

Sorry, eh, about your A’s Yusuf.
More accurately, sorry, not sorry. : )
Just a note for young Blue Jays fans out there who wonder who that guy is with the S. Tom Henke is what is known as a “Lights Out” closer. I know that may seem strange but that means that he efficiently gets the opposing side out with no drama.
