Major League Baseball wants us to believe that there were 2 pitchers named Jeff D’Amico playing in the 2000 season. I contend that what began as a simple bookkeeping error was seized upon by Commissioner Bud Selig as a way to test the loyalty and pliability of baseball fans. I mean, isn’t it a little too convenient that the “second Jeff D’Amico” only logged 13 innings in the Majors and was optioned to AAA Omaha on July 15, 2000 - one day after the “first Jeff D’Amico” pitched against the Royals - and that he never again pitched in the Majors? Or that “both” Jeff D’Amicos were drafted in 1993? Or that the “second Jeff D’Amico” transitioned from an infielder to a pitcher in the minor leagues (a switch that almost never happens)? Sorry, but I’m not a sheep.
