12/13: Dale Berra, Josh Fogg, Jay Bell, Todd Ritchie, Damaso Marte...

Dale Berra, Josh Fogg, Jay Bell, Todd Ritchie, Damaso Marte...

  • 1956 - Dale Berra was born in Ridgewood, NJ. The SS spent eight years in Pittsburgh (1977-84) and started the last three, but his bat (.238 as a Pirate) never came around. He was the first round pick of the 1975 draft (20th overall). 
  • 1976 - RHP Josh Fogg was born in Lynn, Massachusetts. He pitched for Pittsburgh from 2002-05 with a record of 39-42 and a 4.79 ERA. 

Upper Deck MVP Series 2003

  • 1996 - SS Jay Bell and 3B Jeff King were traded to the Royals for 3B Joe Randa, LHP Jeff Wallace, LHP Jeff Granger and RHP Jeff Martin in a salary dump, or maybe in an effort by the clubs to set a record for Jeffs (or just “J” first names in general) included in one deal. 
  • 2001 - The Pirates sent P Todd Ritchie and C Lee Evans to the White Sox for pitchers Kip Wells‚ Sean Lowe‚ and Josh Fogg (on his birthday). 
  • 2005 - The Bucs acquired LHP Damaso Marte from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for INF/OF Rob Mackowiak.
