All-Time Team of Players Who Hit Two Home Runs...



…in a game where the final score was 2-0.  A big thanks to David Vincent for the research.  Bizarre that I needed the two best shortstops to play out of position just to complete the roster.  OK, you know and I know that Kranepool never played even a single game at 2nd in the majors.  The thing is, the only ones here who did were Boudreau and Dark and I absolutely need them where they are, so please play along and pretend Kranepool could do it.  Maybe .Utley will do it next year during a Halladay start.
