He only played a handful more games for the Marlins (although he won a ring there) than in LA, and arguably his peak years of performance were in blue.Casey Lombardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412709159654238723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-59059572339516732802010-01-27T15:17:30.658-08:002010-01-27T15:17:30.658-08:00By the way, no one mentions Expose?
