Nationals' Bullpen Goat of the Day #4

What with one thing and another, and my eagerness to post the Interleague comments, I didn't get round to doing the latest Goat of the Day this morning. In the spirit of Respice post te! Hominem te memento!, I otherwise mutely post the Goat rankings for Wednesday's game.

About fra paolo

fra paolo is a SABR member and occasional participant at what used to be known as "Baseball Primer".

He grew up in Detroit, going to Tiger Stadium, and cheering on the team through 1972. But the introduction of the designated hitter rule was too much for his eleven year old's traditionalism, and he began wandering in a wilderness of rooting for National League teams. For a time he was a fan of the Montréal Expos, because they were the closest team to London, England, where he lived from 1982 until 2008. With the Expos' move to Washington, he returned to his Tiger roots.

For now he lives in Florida, from where he keeps an eye on the Detroit Tigers and other baseballing matters.

(The title alludes to St Augustine of Hippo's De Civitate Dei contra Paganos, in case theology isn't on your curriculum vitae.)
