Robbie Ross Brings Back Memories of 1999 and Jeff Zimmerman: Fan’s View (Yahoo! Contributor Network)
The year was 1999 and the Texas Rangers had a relatively unknown kid in the bullpen. He was undrafted, had only been in the Rangers organization for a year, but had begun to catch everyone's attention in 1998 and then continued to do so in the spring of 1999. The Rangers needed every solid bullpen arm they could find in 1999, specifically right-handed ones, but the Rangers chose for him to start the season at Oklahoma City. He only lasted a week in Triple-A before getting the call to the big leagues and at 26 years old, he really wasn't a kid, but was still a rookie.
