Wow, I don't recall Scott Fletcher ever wearing an O's uniform. He was a very good player for a long time with the White Sox, if my memory serves.

HA HA...

I didn't know I had to tell you that my man!

I like to add some of the other teams stats in there too.

Go O's...

Two early solo bombs has us in a hole 2-0 in the second.

Hole filled by Mora... 3-2 O's going to the 4th.

That's cool. I just saw a row of Orioles stats, so I just assumed Scott Fletcher was another. I thought maybe the O's had him for a brief while in between stints in Chicago or something.
