Putting on an unprecedented offensive display is one way to endear yourself to new fans, and that's how Tejada introduced himself to Baltimore locals in 2004. The prized free-agent acquisition became the first shortstop to tally 200 hits and 150 RBI, benchmarks previously reached by the likes of Lou Gehrig, Rogers Hornsby and Babe Ruth.
Lou's earned run average in 1954 was the National League's second best. He got into 38 games, winning 15 and losing 14. His ERA was a low 2.76. He worked 258 innings and gave up 224 hits. Lou walked 62 men and struck out 79. He pitched 4 shutouts. Lou began in baseball as a member of the New York Yankees and played in their farm system until he hit the majors with the parent team at the end of the 1950 season. The Braves acquired him in a trade with New York.
One of the leading contenders for the ace of the Royals staff is hard-throwing Roger Nelson. Last year, the right-hander won two games as a starter & two games as a reliefer for Baltimore. He was drafted by the Royals in '68.
