Looks like the Natinals are off the hook...
That, my friends, is Texas Rangers reliever Darren O'Day. Not Gabbard, O'Day.
There are, however, extenuating circumstances:
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090421&content_id=4357210&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlbSure enough, as the Rangers' bullpen was running out of arms in the extra-inning affair, O'Day's services were needed. The right-handed reliever arrived at the ballpark during the 10th inning of the contest, when he found out the team did not have a jersey made for him.
While on the road, the club's equipment manager usually carries around the jerseys of several players who could possibly get called up, and of course, O'Day was not one of those players. So O'Day was forced to don the jersey of Kason Gabbard -- who is currently with Triple-A Oklahoma City....
O'Day was to face Jays first baseman Kevin Millar, who was obviously confused at the name on the jersey.
"Gabbard?" Millar said with a laugh. "I thought that was a left-handed pitcher. came in throwing a sinker ball, side-armed, right-handed. I was a little confused at first."Of course, the Nats
could use another reliever...
