MLB Note - Detroit Tigers Romine, Andrew

Oct 1, 2017 - 7:38 AM UTL Andrew Romine became the fifth player in major league history and the first since 2000 to play all nine positions in a game Saturday. Romine became the first player since Detroit's Shane Halter in 2000 to accomplish the feat. He also had a hit and a walk in the game as he joined Halter, Texas' Scott Sheldon (2000), Minnesota's Cesar Tovar (1968) and Bert Campaneris (1965) of the Kansas City Athletics as major leaguers to play all nine positions in a game. He played catcher for the first time in his major league career in the seventh inning. Romine, whose brother is a catcher for New York, had played every position except catcher this season. He was behind the plate for four batters and was charged with a passed ball. He recorded five putouts in the game.
