Sure you already know that Dan Uggla hit the final home run, ever, in Shea Stadium, but that is not the purpose of this post. The purpose is to add another bit of baseball trivia along with Danny's home run, to potentially be a lucrative outcome for you . Willie Stargell was the first to hit a home run at Shea Stadium in 1964, and Marlins 2B Dan Uggla will go down as the last. "It's pretty cool,"...

Battling for the wild card deep into Sunday afternoon, both the Mets and Brewers were tied in the eighth inning today. But minutes apart, the Florida Marlins hit back-to-back homers--from former Phillie Wes Helms and Dan Uggla, who ends the season with a better New York memory than his all-star game disaster--and Ryan Braun clubbed a two-run blast for the Brewers. Neither the Cubs nor the Mets could...

ATLANTA - After the Marlins walked into Philadelphia and won two of three games last week, Florida second baseman Dan Uggla made perfectly clear his team's mentality for the final few weeks of the season.

Just a day after Jorge Cantu belted his 25th homer of the season to give the Marlins four infielders with 25 homers, the first team in history, Hanley Ramirez hit his 30th of the season giving the Marlins 3 infielders with at least 30 homers, Mike Jacobs (32) and second baseman Dan Uggla (30), also [...]

The reception line that greeted Jorge Cantu after he made history by smashing a home run on Friday was like none ever assembled. One by one, Mike Jacobs, Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramirez -- a veritable Mount Rushmore of Marlins, if you will -- embraced Cantu near the on-deck circle after he rounded the bases, a jaunt that put the four of them in the record books.

The Florida Marlins could be the first team ever, in the National League, to have three 30-home run infielders . The consistency with which Mike Jacobs, Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramirez have put balls in the seats has positioned them for a noteworthy accomplishment. Uggla hit his 30th Saturday and Jacobs reached the milestone Sunday. Ramirez is one shy of giving the Marlins their first trio of 30-homer...

Yesterday’s game was what you might call a “slugfest.” The Braves had 16 runs on 21 hits, including 6 doubles and 2 homers; the Marlins had 14 runs on 15 hits, including 4 doubles, a triple, and 2 homers. Naturally, Cody Ross had 2 of the doubles and Dan Uggla hit one of the homers. [...]
