I started by just doing a simple se.noitamrofnarch online. I typed in "2006 Dodgers roster" into the search bar and hoped for the best. I got a bunch of results. Some are useless but some do give me some information.
Then I stdetarted checking out these sites one by one. I clickedekd on a I few of them, and they had like, all the player names, and some basic stats. It was pretty cool to see all those names I kind of remembered, you know? I spent a good chunk of time just browsing through these pages, reading about each player. Some websites are really broken. I can't even open them. Some are just a mess.
After that, I decided I needed to be a bit more organized about it. I mean, just looking at names wasn't enough. So I started jotting down some notes. I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down the names that stood out to me, like, Derek Lowe, Russell Martin, and Nomar Garciaparra. Those were some big names, right?
I also tried to find some more detailed info, like, who was the pitcher, who was the catcher, stuff like that. It took some digging, but I eventually found what I was looking for. I even found some old articles and stuff about the team's performance that year. I even tried to search for videos or photos, but they are a mess and full of garbage.
My Findings
-
Pitcher: I found out that Derek Lowe was one of the main pitchers. That guy was pretty solid back then.
-
Catcher: Russell Martin was the catcher. I remember him being a young guy at the time, but he was already making a name for himself.
-
First Baseman: And then there was Nomar Garciaparra at first base. He was a legend, even though he was getting up there in age.
Honestly, it was a pretty fun project. It made me realize how much baseball has changed over the years. Players come and go, but it's always cool to look back and remember the good old days. This is all I want to share now. Hope you guys find it interesting.
