A Major League Lineup Of Dee Jays


By Doug Poe

Were former Most Valuable Player Josh Donaldson to for some reason reverse his initials, his main role in the Toronto clubhouse would literally fit him. The veteran third baseman, along with catcher Russell Martin, serves as the locker room DJ for the Blue Jays.

A recent article in ESPN.com discussed the importance of the players who pick the songs to play while the team is in the clubhouse. Senior writer Eddie Matz was able reveal which guys served in that role for each team, a list that comprises seasoned veterans as well as youngsters and even back ups in some cases.

George Springer is at the top of the list, mainly because his teammates on the Astros give his musical play lists as one of the main reasons Houston captured its first ever World Series Championship last year. The DJ for their opponents in the Fall Classic, the Los Angeles Dodgers, is known as JT by his fans (Justin Turner).

Unfortunately, none of the thirty DJs listed is literally a DJ, although one comes close. Had last year's American League Rookie of the Year been named David instead of Aaron, the New York Yankees would have a true DJ controlling the music.

In the Sixties for the Reds and Phillies, Johnson was one of the premier sluggers in the National League.

Center Field, Dion James

Playing exclusively for the Brewers and the Braves, James had an impressive .288 batting average over his eleven year career.

Right Field, Desmond Jennings

After breaking into the majors in 2012, Jennings was a mainstay in the Tampa Bay lineup for several seasons.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
