You can never have too many haha. I played as a shortstop batting around 600 on the Rays and they won their 5th consecutive World Series. Its amazing that when I was in a big slump (hitting 200) the first month, my team was almost on a 40 game winning streak (which I've never seen in My Life, it was simply incredible). We ended up with the best record in history with 126 wins. What was even more incredible is that while we had a great team after trades from a few years (while keeping our core players like Garza, Jackson (who was an ace that year) Upton, Pena, and Crawford, we also got players like Lilly from the Cubs(we played the Cubs in the World Series and Lilly won the last game), a good closer, Crisp (who actually hit 300 that year), the Yankees had the best team I've ever seen. Of the top of my head, they had Prince Fielder, A-Ramirez, A-Rod, a catcher even better then Jorge, a shortstop whose name I forgot but Jeter was on the bench (I was pissed, Jeter was underated in this game and this guy was overated haha), Cabrera (who had hit 30 homeruns somehow!) and 2 new star outfielders, arguably the 2 best in the game (that was my reaction when I first saw them). Matsui and Damon were on the bench as well as a few other stars. Their rotation had Joba Chamberlain(Cy Young that year with a triple crown and a 1. something ERA, Burnnet, Zambrano, Mussina, and Pavano. Mariano (like every game I played) somehow got traded to the cubs for Zambrano. We had a slightly better record then 500 against them and we won in the ALCS in an epic 7-game battle with a walk-off by me (no reloads, it worked perfectly!). Every year we've played them and each year it was easy. This is the first year we had a better record then the Yanks and they barely made it past the Red Sox (with what was the best team I've ever seen, I don't understand how they weren't the 130 win team). I'm up for free-agency next year and I'm anxious to leave the Rays as the stupid manager brough in a slightly above average fielder (I was a Gold Glover and have all As in fielding now) and made me catcher! I was really pisses. He used to replace me in games but after a month he now puts me as shortstop and replaced the new shortstop with a catcher (Navaro).
