					<description><![CDATA[You&#039;re absolutely right about Palmeiro, who was born in Cuba, tdow.

I did not know that factoid about Winfield. I guess considering he never took the field for Cleveland after the trade that season, due to the strike (though he was re-signed by the Tribe as a FA before the 1995 season), even lunch at Burger King would be overpaying. From the look of Winfield&#039;s 1995 line with Cleveland (.191/.285/.287, 2 HR, 4 RBI), he probably should have just hung up the spikes and gone to Cooperstown a year earlier.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[That would be Rafael Palmeiro.

Did you know that in the strike shortened 1994 season, Dave Winfield was traded to Cleveland for a &quot;player to be named later&quot;. The Indians never ponied up the player, instead the executives of both teams went to dinner to resolve the issue with the Indians&#039; ownership picking up the tab. I hope it was a 5 star restaurant!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Just an added note... I debated about whether or not to include the biographical fact about Carew being the first foreign born player to reach 3,000 hits because it&#039;s only true if you consider Roberto Clemente&#039;s place of birth, Puerto Rico, NOT to be &quot;foreign&quot;. I know some of us have had that discussion before.

Just to test whether anyone actually reads these comments, there&#039;s since been one more foreign born player to join Carew (and arguably Clemente) in the 3,000 hit club. Can you name him?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[That would be Pedro Ramos, who beat Whitey Ford and threw a complete game shutout at the Yankees. Sorry I missed the question previously, amanda! Here&#039;s the link to the boxscore over at baseball-reference.com. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYA/NYA196104110.shtml]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hey!  I posted this question in the comments section on another post and asked you on Twitter, but I&#039;ll try again here.  Do you know who pitched the very first Twins game?]]></description>
