Benito Santiago #7/404/693/699

 

This week, likely our only 4 card episode...Benito Santiago! Benito was nearly orphaned at 3 months old. He was 1987 NL Rookie of the Year after a rookie record 34 game hit streak! He played 20 MLB seasons, was 5x all star and 4x gold glove winner. Other topics include: RBI Corner, PEDs, throwing out runners from your knees, how to anger your pitching staff, and a bunch of teams you forgot Benito played for.
