Congrats to Dave Sappelt for rounding out the top 10 in style. And by in style, I mean by trying to stretch a single into a double, getting thrown out at 2nd, and shouting every obscenity in the dictionary (and some in German) on his way back to the dugout. The crazy thing is, it was an infield hit to begin with. That's just how he rolls.
Now we enter the next 10 and since the battle for #11 is looking like a two-horse race, you get no new candidates. But be patient fun-seekers, because soon you will find the list infused with a bunch of young, exciting talent. If you can't wait, here's a preview of some guys you'll be seeing soon. Happy voting, and happy Martin Luther King day!
