Sheffield is one of the "if he gets a job" dudes.

edited add: This list makes me uneasy, in that if Brian Sabean ever got a hold of it, he'd try to sign all six.

Kenny Rogers?

[Tom S.]

Is Tom Gordon is one of the "4"?

[Jim VB]

Gordon is correct as the 4th (I think he still has a job this year.)

And Sheffield and Smoltz are the other two possibles (I see someone taking a chance on Smoltz, but I wouldn't bet on Sheffield.)



OK. On to the bonus question? A connection to Net54, in one step?


Edited to add: I may stand corrected on Gordon. Arizona released him at the end of last season. I haven't been able to find him catching on anywhere as of yet. I guess he moves to the "maybe" list.

Sheff played in El Paso in 1988 with one Rob DeWolf.

[Jim VB]

Bingo!

(I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that when Sheff was at short, helmets were issued to all fans along the first base side of the field.)

Hell, he'd sign all 6 AND track down Randy Johnson, for a clean sweep of 7 if he could.
