Congratulations Omar Vizquel! After last night's game, you became the all-time leader in games played at shortstop, playing in your 2,584th contest at the position. I'll never forget the fact that you and the Seattle Mariners parted ways after the 1993 season because they were taking a chance on some young rookie named Alex Rodriguez.Hall of Very Good: The Giants get it right...FINALLY!

Perhaps they learned from their mistakes last Fall (doubtful) or maybe they just like Omar Vizquel better (probable)...but the San Francisco Giants handled Omar Vizquel's record setting accomplishment yesterday like champs. When taking the field...he trotted out by himself. And for the first time, he didn't have to share the limelight.
