Vinny Rottino gets an at-bat; Marlins lose

leave a comment »

Just a quick note, folks . . . in Tuesday night’s game between the Florida Marlins and the New York Mets, Vinny Rottino entered the game in the 12th inning to play right field.  He then came to the plate in the bottom of the 12th to hit, and grounded out.  The Marlins lost the game, 7-4.

Note that this was Rottino’s first major league at-bat since September, 2008, when he was still a member of the Milwaukee Brewers organization.

Here’s hoping Rottino gets another at-bat soon, and this time gets a hit — preferably a ringing double into right-center.
