World Series

It's Tampa Bay v. Philadelphia.

No particular rooting interest.  Lenny Dykstra is long retired, and the ex-A's (Joe Blanton--remember Joe Blanton?--and Carlos Peña are the ones I know about) balance each other out.

ETA:  How did I forget Matt Stairs?  Now I'll have to research ex-Mets.  At this late date, only the coaches would have played on championship teams, but last time the Phils were in it, the ex-Met, ex-Athletic, extra-points-for-championship-teams factor came down to the Blue Jays' coach Galen Cisco. 

Probable incomplete list:
  1. Cliff Floyd, ex-Met
  2. Steve Henderson, ex-Met and ex-A (coach)
  3. Chad Bradford, ex-A
  4. Davey Lopes, ex-A (coach)
  5. Milt Thompson (coach) was on the '93 Phillies
6 ex-As.  2 ex-Mets.  3 with the Rays.  4 with the Phils.  Oh, well.
