It's nothing to get worked up about, but we noticed that Bert Blyleven is pictured in a Cleveland jersey in a notebook sent out by the National Baseball Hall of Fame trumpeting induction weekend. It's just kind of ... odd, you know, since Blyleven spent basically twice as much time in a Twins uniform.

Then again, Roberto Alomar appears to be in Diamondbacks gear if we are viewing the larger version properly. He played in Arizona for all of 38 games before the White Sox acquired him in 2004 in an other ill-fated attempt at catching the Twins.

At least Pat Gillick is appropriately clothed in a suit.
