The New York Mets... because I grew up watching Darryl Strawberry play in the minors for the Jackson Mets before the majors picked him up.. and it just happened to be the New York Mets.

I say George once again gets what he wants and the New York Yankees get free agent all-star outfielder Jesus, oh I mean corporate Jesus, Johnny Damon. Now they have him and their batting line-up is the best in the majors.  you know the old expression a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link, well that's it, the yankees hitting line up has no weak link now.  I wouldn't say their upstoppable only for one little small thing...PITCHING, but that's another story.

yes it is. it seems tht the fans in New York and Boston stuff the ballot box meaning tht we'll get starting lineup full of Yankees and Red Sox. and for exampl righte now Jason Varitek is leading the AL Catchers in voting, but Joe Mauer should be the clear cut starter because hes batting almost 100 points higher thn Varitek. i feel Troy Glaus should be the starting 3rd baseman and not A-Rod, ARod is having a mediocre year by his standards. but the all star game has turned into a popularity contest and its up to the managers on both teams to select the players who were chosen but didn`t make the teams.

1947 - Don Bankhead becomes the first African American pitcher in major-league baseball.  The Brooklyn Dodger hurler helps his own cause by slamming a home run in his first appearance at the plate.

The answer is Jackie Robinson.  In 1947, he became the first African-American player in Major League Baseball.  He was honored as Rookie of the YEar (then only awarded to one player).  Two years later, he was given the National League MVP for a stellar season.\n\nJackie Robinson was a pioneer in the MLB and his memory is still kept alive becuase is his number is retired league-wide.

I am completely enamored and astounded by the legend that is LeRoy Satchel Paige. The stories you hear about how he would tell his outfield to stay in the dugout because he didnt need them, inducing only infield hits or striking out the batter...its mind-boggling. Big Satch simply dominated any game he played in, even into his 50's. his win total completely blows cy young out of the water. Satchell Paige was better.

1903. They Shared their playing field with the NY Giants, (now SF Giants) @ polo grounds in manhattan until 1929 when they built yankee stadium on revenue alone. Rumors say it was because Ruth brought sold out crowds every game, hence the name "The House that Ruth Built" Peace
