Not really so odd

Post by OldRed »

In a fun, quirky, never-before-seen lineup oddity, the Orioles started Jackson Holliday at second base, Jeremiah Jackson in right field and Alex Jackson at catcher for Sunday’s 5-3 loss in the series finale vs. the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Per the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the first time a team in the Modern Era (since 1900) has started at least three players with the name Jackson (first or last).

Not true, Cardinals once started Matt Holliday, Matt Carpenter and Matt Adams.

I guess Matt is not as common as Jackson.
