The rosters are huge, and a third of them aren't even going to break camp with the team, so unless you get a player in front of his locker and nameplate, you might have no clue who you're actually talking to. But if there's one screwup you don't want to ...

The Second Time They Met, Jeffrey Maier Didn't Dare Mess With Tony Tarasco
When I met Jeffrey Maier, he was Coach Maier and I had no idea who he was.
