John Olerud Retires

[Benjamin Grimm]

Olerud was the daily lookup winner on the UMDB by a HUGE margin. He got almost 20 times as many votes as runner-up Herb Moford.

I guess it's because his 1999 transaction was linked on the home page, and his retirement has him in the news.

By dying, Herb Moford only gets one day of glory. Donn Clendennon wa able to get a full week's worth.

In one day, John Olerud leaped to the #1 most looked-up player of the last 30 days. WOW.
