You're correct, Randy. However, my source, ESPS. Com, has 'Lifers' defined as 'This lists the rare players in MLB who have been with only one team throughout their careers with at least 10 years in the pros.'

Technically, Wainwright would not meet the criteria since he started as a Braves' prospect.

However, if you click on 'lifers', the next screen has 'lifers' more loosely defined...

A lifer is a player who has played with only one team for at least ten years.


But, I agree with you, that 'the spirit' of the list would include Wainwright...they need an editor like you...or me.

Thank for your note

Nice flippant response, Clyde. I'm so very sorry to have taken up some of your valuable time.

Saying I have a life, in self, is a joke, but implying that my time is more valuable than anyone else...was never intended or considered.

I'm always going for laughs, but frequently fall short.

It's ok, Raymond. Pain meds had worn off, and I was in a really pissy mood. You're aces in my book.
