If I counted guys in the minors, there would be way more! Also, separately, I thought Billy Bean and Billy Beane were the same guy for an embarrassingly long time

Sounds like a cool book! Does it touch on Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins falling in love?

While researching Team Israel players I learned I went to summer camp with Harrison Cohen's sister-in-law

Scott Bandura Is Ready For a Bigger Stage The Princeton junior made his name catching for Mo’ne Davis. Now he’s trying to go pro as an outfielder.

The Giants loaned Team USA a few of their minor leaguers to use as extra bench meat, and former Taney Dragons catcher Scott Bandura is in right field for Team USA right now

The more I have studied baseball’s integration and expanded from the Negro Leagues into Latin America, the more I have learned how blurred lines can get and how complicated definitions can be come. One example is the quiet integration of the Pirates with Carlos Bernier, an Afro-Puerto Rican OF.

I'm aware Puerto Rico is part of the US. I should have been more precise in the way I worded my post. I wanted to highlight how many MLB players are from Spanish-speaking nations and territories outside the continental US in the league, and didn't mean to suggest that Puerto Rico β‰  USA
