I don't even know what I'm talking about some days.

Hopefully if there are more people who didn't realize that was a link, they will
read this thread and utilize it.

I guess the joke's on me! I posted an invitation on the "this guy" up top (to
see if anyone really clicks there) and see if I got any bites. I get one PM from
the coobster that his name is Julio and eats iguannas which is where I my brain
was going with it but I didn't remember he spent time in the clink for murder??

Wikipedia: Julio Machado, born Julio Segundo Machado Rond�n (December 1, 1965 in Zulia State, Venezuela) is a former Major League Baseball right-handed relief pitcher who played for the New York Mets (1989-90) and Milwaukee Brewers (1990-91).

Machado started his career with the Mets. In the 1990 season, he went to the Brewers in a four-player deal, along with pitcher Kevin Brown, in exchange for catcher Charlie O'Brien and a minor league player.

Machado had a decent fastball, good control and willingness to challenge hitters. He also pitched a better-than-average curveball and a slider. Machado was certainly good enough to pitch for a few more years. However, he is a footnote in the ledger of baseball history. Spending the 1991 off-season in his homeland, Machado was arrested for murder being accused of shooting a woman following an auto accident. He was convicted and, following appeals, he was sentenced to 12 years in 1996.

In a three-year career, Machado posted a 7-5 record with 151 strikeouts and a 3.12 ERA in 147 innings.

Machado went on to play in the Venezuelan winter league and currently coaches in that league.

Machado was nicknamed "Iguanaman" for his fondness of eating the meat of iguanas.

I conflate Julio Machado and Jose Bautista.

My newest conflation is Elmer Dessens and Casey Fossum.

I loved Julio Machado. Unquestionably in the bullpen of my All-Time Mets 25-Man Roster.

That's either Roy McMillan or Harry Truman
