Player of the Day 4-29-08

When reviewing the morning box scores I look for good form. I define this as mutiple times on base, multiple base hits and any combination of runs and rbi that adds up to 2. Each hit or walk is a point, you get 2 for a 2B, 3 for a 3B and 4 for a HR and each run or rbi is a point.

9 players were on good from yesterday from Ankiel to Zimmerman. Best performance was by San Diego's Scott Hariston who was 3-4 doubled, homered drove in 3 and scored 3 for 15 points. Detroit's CFer Granderson was 2-3 with 2 walks, double, home run scored 3 and knocked in 1 for an AL best 14 points. Rick Ankiel of St. Louis had a 2nd strong nite in a row with 2 doubles and a total of 11 points.
