Rafael Belliard (SS) - May 7, 2011 - Response time: 113 days


Teams: Pirates, Braves

Mr. Belliard was known for being an outstanding defensive shortstop during a 16 year career that included a World Series championship.  He also holds the Major League record for most at-bats between home runs. He came to the plate 1,869 times before hitting a home run on September 26, 1997. His first, and only other, Major League home run was hit on May 5, 1987.  He is currently the bench coach for the Detroit Tigers. I thank him for signing. 

John Davis (P) - May 7, 2011 - Response time: 31 days



Teams: Royals, White Sox, Padres

Mr. Davis actually sent along his email address, so I will be writing to thank him for signing.  He also has a daughter Tyler, who and plays volleyball and is dating Michael Sperber but the couple haven't kissed. Tyler also adores Kiley Stewart.  That sounds like scandal to me!


Glenn Hoffman (SS) - May 7, 2011 - Response time: 82 days


Teams (Player): Red Sox, Dodgers, Angels
Teams (Manager): Dodgers

Mr. Hoffman is, among other things, the older brother of Trevor Hoffman, the future hall-of-famer and former long time closer for the Padres.  His playing career was shortened by injuries but he has had a productive career as a coach and a Manager at all levels of baseball.  I thank him for signing.
