Which MLB franchise was the last (and as far as I can tell only) to be sold for a loss by its ownership group?
Our last question: Was looking at the back of Kevin Quackenbush’s uniform, and got to wondering, what is the longest player’s name to take over the back of a Padres jersey? Answer: With 12 letterers in his last name Juan Eichelberger had the most letters on the back of his jersey in Padres history. Several of you submitted the name Jason “Middlebrooks”, but his name properly spelled does not have an “S” on the end, thus Middlebrook has only 11 letters.
