Marlins/Giants series preview  Sarah Glenn  It's literally my
job to know about baseball. There are 30 teams to keep track of,
and usually 1,000 players take an at-bat or throw a pitch every
year, so it can be a little overwhelming, but I'm pretty
confident in my baseball knowledge, for the most part.  On April
26th, here was the Marlins' lineup, as posted on  Pierre - LF
Polanco - 2B Stanton - RF Mahoney - 1B Solano - 2B Brantly - C
Coghlan - CF Valaika -SS Sanabia - P  Now, because it's my job,
I know seven of the nine first names. And I know of Valaika,
too. I just can't place the first name without a little help.
Unless he doesn't have a first name. Wait, I think he was a
producer/composer, did a lot of movie scores in the '80s. No, he
doesn't have a first name. So that's eight of the nine players
that I'm at least aware of. I can do better, but I'm only half-
ashamed.  Then you get to the cleanup hitter. Mahoney. Mahoney.
Can't place him at all. It doesn't help that I'm distracted by
