The stocky 22 year old left hander Andrew Miller played the best baseball game of his life last Sunday afternoon to claim the victory for Florida Marlins against the Padres in the series final game. Miller allowed just two runs and four hits and also struck out four in his six innings for the Marlins. He received tremendous support from the Marlins offensive line up as they scored five runs. The Florida Marlins had a convincing win of 10-3 against the Padres, thanks to the heroics of young Miller.
Miller, who had the longest innings of his 2008 season, said that he was pretty happy to have played long in this game and is expecting to play even better innings for his team. Miller said that he was feeling a lot better after playing this game and hoped that he has similar games coming his way in the future as well.

The Forbes’ List for the most valuable baseball team list is out, and the Oakland Athletics’ fans are not going to be happy once they see that their favorite team is ranked rather low in the list. The annual “Business of Baseball” compiled by Forbes placed the Oakland Athletics at No. 26 out of a total of 30 teams. They estimated value is approximately $323 million, whereas the total revenue for the entire team is $154 million while the operating income comes up to about $15.4 million.
In comparison, the San Francisco Giants made it to the eighth rank. Their value was relatively higher than that of the A’s, with a total of $494 million. Forbes’ list also reported that their revenue came up to be $197 million with a gross operating income of $19.9 million.
Fans of the New York Yankees will be overjoyed to hear that this team made it up to the top of the list with a whopping value of $1.3 billion. In contrast, the Florida Marlins are at the bottom with a mere value of $256 million.
