* FATHER-SON TEAM: Baltimore Orioles' Tim Raines Sr. (l) and Tim Raines Jr. sit in the Orioles dugout during a game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Camden Yards in Baltimore. They join Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr. as the only father-son teammates (Seattle Mariners in 1990-91) in major league history.

Toward the end of the regular season, the Montreal Expos traded Raines Sr., 42, and Raines Jr., 22, was called up from the Orioles' Rochester, NY, AAA club. "This is certainly something special," said Raines Sr. "I don't think in my wildest dreams that we could play together. To do it is very special."
