I subscribe to Google Alerts that lets me know where and when web pages, blogs, etc. mention the "Field And Stream Team" phrase and this is the first alert. The LA Times must be reposting their articles online to make them searchable. Anyway, check out the National League's "Field And Stream Team" below among others: As long as we're picking teams, how about the: Team You Wouldn't Pay to See--Catcher, Darrell Porter, Cardinals, .125.
