Hey,

After the great success of my first article about the uniform numbers 1-10, I have come back with the next installment, with the best players to wear the uniform numbers 11-20. I hope you can take a look and even comment on my choices. Thanks in advance!

Check out my latest two articles... One is in response to all of John Smoltz's rhetoric...

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/193495-an-open-letter-to-john-smoltz

The other is a response to anyone and everyone who thinks it actually matters that we let go of a 40-something pitcher who has nothing left in the tank...
