A Special Tribute to Robin Ventura

A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO ROBIN VENTURA

AFTER FOLLOWING HIM FOR YEARS, ONE OF THE MOST
TALENTED BASEBALL PLAYERS IN THE MAJOR LEAGUES
IS ROBIN VENTURA OF THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS. HE
CAN FIELD, HE CAN HIT HOMERUNS (HE HAS 16 CAREER
GRAND SLAMS, TIED WITH HANK AARON AND BABE
RUTH FOR 5TH ON THE ALL-TIME LIST), AND I BELIEVE
HE CAN HELP THE DODGERS MAKE IT TO THE
POST-SEASON IN 2004. ROBIN HAS MADE MAJOR
LEAGUE BASEBALL HISTORY SEVERAL TIMES. FOR
EXAMPLE, HE WAS THE FIRST PLAYER IN BASEBALL
HISTORY TO HIT A GRAND SLAM IN BOTH GAMES OF A
DOUBLE HEADER . HE DID SO ON MAY 20, 1999 AGAINST
THE BREWERS AT SHEA STADIUM IN NEW YORK. THESE
WERE HIS 13TH AND 14TH OF HIS CAREER, AND LIKE I
SAID EARLIER HE NOW HAS 16 AND IS THE CAREER
GRAND SLAM LEADER AMONG ACTIVE PLAYERS. HE
HAS BEEN SELECTED TO 2 AMERICAN LEAGUE ALL-STAR
TEAMS (1992, 2002) AND HAS WON 6 GOLD GLOVES IN
HIS CAREER (FIVE WITH THE WHITE SOX AND ONE WITH
THE METS), AND IS A VITAL ASSET TO THE DODGERS
2004 BALL CLUB.
