Baseball's expanded September rosters are mostly just useful for letting fans of non-contending teams get a glimpse of the future. But two weeks ago the Texas Rangers did something pretty cool: they called up 31 year old utility infielder Guilder Rodríguez, who had played 1,095 games with ten different minor league teams before getting his first call-up. Tonight Rodríguez got his first major league hit, which was followed by tears from his parents and a standing ovation.
