About this list:

My favorite baseball movie isn't even about professional baseball, but about a minor league team known as the Durham Bulls. Perhaps you have seen "Bull Durham". If so, you will recognize the phrase I stole for this list. If not, you may already know how many unspoken rules and rituals and prayers exist for and about all levels of baseball, from T-ball to the bush leagues to farm teams to the "Show". It is, in its own inimitable fashion, a religion.

Qualifications:

I have my very own pink glove.

Tampa Bay Devil Rays' Carlos Pena Jersey

First to recommend

Description

A thorn in the side of the Red Sox for much of the 2008 season, Carlos Pena has found his stride after leaving the Sox for the Devil Rays in 2006. "Comeback Player of the Year" for the American League in 2007, he may just find himself with yet another accolade should he win the Roberto Clemente Award in 2008.
