For the first time, my Baseball Boyfriend of the Day is not to be found on the roster of the Cubs, Phillies or Red Sox. He's the former Brave with the longest name around, the 6'5" catcher/1B double threat who popped 2 homers and drove in 7 RBI for the Rangers tonight in their record-breaking THIRTY RUN game victory over the O's- and helped Kason Gabbard get his 6th W this year. And if I'm giving this to a guy with the stink of the Braves barely off his back, you know he has to be something special. Jarrod Saltalamacchia- come on down!

Cutest part of the night? Salty went out to bat with a lefty's batting helmet, when he was supposed to be hitting right- and sheepishly ran back to get the right helmet when he realized his mistake.

Honorable Mentions: Kason Gabbard, Dustin Pedroia, Jake Peavy.
