Re: All time M's vs the other expansion teams

With out researching it the only thing that stick out is Beltran was a Royal-Astro before he was a Met. I had second thoughts about this while doing the Blue Jays and even Mariner-Yankees.

Re: Great first month for the forum!!! Party is June 22nd

Would love to see some new faces. Don't be nervous about going to a party where you have never met anyone in person, the...
