Wednesday marked the annual tradition of Jim's examination of non-roster invitees to Spring Training. As he noted, it's a crowded group this year: last year, six of the twenty NRIs ended up making appearance with the big league club during the season. With 27 this year, it makes one wonder how many will make an appearance during the 2020 season. Hopefully, not that many outside of the prospects, since things will have gone awry otherwise!
Anyhow, today we'll be taking a look back at the other NRIs to have made an appearance dating back to 2007. With the six names from last year, we're now up to 71 names! How many can you get? Good luck!
