A Saber-Slanted Baseball Community

McCoven...I've posted my articles here a few times and loved the responses and critiques I get in return. I work for CSN and have the opportunity to write for the website every now and then. I'm not the CSN spam bot so read if you please and comment here and/or on the site...trying to incite some debate with a topic that many Giants fans disagree on.

This headline in the Globe and Mail caught me by surprise. Though he didn't play long for the Jays, I still remember Mark Whiten well, from those years in the late 1980s when the Jays seemed to develop an endless string of promising young outfielders. Whiten's been out of the game for 10 years, but sounds like he's still in good shape. At the Hall of Fame Classic in Cooperstown playing with other "old-timers", he won the pre-game hitting contest (over another former Jay Jeff Kent) and was named the game's MVP. I like how Whiten "attributed his hitting prowess to a couple of extra slices of pizza". Now that's a kind of regiment I can relate to.

One current Dodger and one recently retired Dodger make the "All Jeff Team", a team made up of the best players named Jeff to have played in the major leagues. Can you guess who they are?
