361. Lidewij Weltin

The good doctor is wondering how to pronounce Lidewij Weltin’s first name?  Actually, I am not wondering that very much, as I am really more interested in meeting the entire Dutch field hockey team.

43. C. J. Wilson

Spending his first seven seasons in MLB with the Texas Rangers, C.J. Wilson’s best year with Texas was his final one.  That year he made his first Al- Star Game and finished 6th in Cy Young voting.  Wilson was used primarily as a reliever (and did well with 52 Saves) but his conversion to the starting rotation has proven to be his calling.

45. Bert Blyleven

Bert Blyleven, the Hall of Fame Pitcher, suited up for the Texas Rangers for two seasons in the 1970’s whereby he only had a 23 and 23 record, but he showed incredible control by winning the WHIP Title in 1977.  Those two seasons in Texas two of the best he ever had in that category.  He would also boast an ERA under 3.00 both seasons.
