Zito, Giants Win

I'm glad the series has been extended. More baseball to watch is a good thing.

I heard an interesting stat yesterday. Justin Verlander is the ONLY player left on the Detroit roster from their 2006 World Series Championship year. They've basically totally rebuilt their roster and didn't care who they got rid of. It makes you realize that "holding onto stars" that fans may care about NOW really doesn't matter. Faces change every year and you still support YOUR team as long as you have a winner.

That got me thinking.What did the Twins roster look like just 6 seasons ago? By my count, 4 of these guys are still on our roster. It's hard to believe we've put up with Casilla this long.
Here's a trip down memory lane for you:
