Maybe it's not as impressive or rare as I think but on the surface I think it's pretty impressive to think that there are still 6 guys in the MLB from our team 11 seasons ago, especially considering IIRC we were considered "old" with a bad farm system and not alot of quality young players at that time.
Also I legit have no recollection of Joe Matinply at all so the fact that 9 years later he is still in the league is really crazy to me.
