Antonio Alfonseca, the most famous – actually the only – polydactyl pitcher in major league history, has been around the league long enough to know that his 12 fingers and 12 toes make him more renowned than his leaden sinker.
Alfonseca, however, was born in LaRomana in the Dominican Republic in 1972.
Alfonseca showed the Rangers that the sinker was back in the 93- to 95-mph range, and he worked his way into their plans early in camp.

 Antonio Alfonseca Once Again Leads Major-League Relievers In Fingers | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
MIAMI—Florida Marlins pitcher Antonio Alfonseca dominated the MLB in appendages for the ninth straight year, finishing the 2005 season with a league-leading 12 fingers.
Alfonseca, who made his debut with the Marlins in 1997 and wasted no time making this particular statistical category his own, led the NL for almost the entire season, only falling into a close second during an unusual two-week period in mid-August.
Alfonseca's performance will trigger a $1 million bonus, as the Marlins signed him to an incentive-laden, oft-criticized, finger-enumeration-based contract.

An imposing 6'5" right-hander who threw in the high 90's, Alfonseca took over as the Marlins' closer after the club's mid-season trade of Matt Mantei in 1999.
Alfonseca was born with six fingers and toes on each hand and foot, an oddity that led his teammates to nickname him "Pulpo" -- Spanish for octopus.
Alfonseca, nicknamed El Pulpo (octopus) because he was born with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, will replace the injured Tom Gordon.

Chicago Cubs reliever Antonio Alfonseca was suspended for seven games, bullpen coach Juan Lopez was suspended for one game and outfielder Moises Alou was fined Friday for their run-in with umpire Justin Klemm earlier this week.
Alfonseca was penalized for making contact with Klemm while Alou and Lopez were disciplined for arguing.
As the Cubs took the field for the top of the eighth, Alfonseca, who was not in the game at the time, charged out of the bullpen area down the left-field line and began yelling at Klemm.

Antonio Alfonseca, the closer with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot (again speaking of weird), was warming up pro forma during a somewhat lackadaisical Florida ninth, waiting to be called in.
Alfonseca actually stopped his warm-ups to try to throw the crowd off.
And, when Antonio came into the game in the bottom of the ninth for the save opportunity, of course the crowd did it during his warm-up tosses, and then for real, in the real game.

They therefore began courting fellow owners lacking in that category in an attempt to gain some speed (the Zingrods were second to last in stolen bases at that point).
Then, despite Billy Taylor's real-life trade to the Mets and the fact that one of the Zingrods' remaining two closers would be Wayne Gomes, the Zingrods traded Alfonseca along with Frank Catalanotto and Preston Wilson to the Mudville Nine for Roger Cedeno, Carlos Febles and Ramon Martinez.
Once Alfonseca was gone, the Short Gap Slayers and the Tater Tankers smelled blood in the saves category and piled 'em on to get that extra point.

Just saw a flash from Jamey Newberg that Antonio Alfonseca has been designated for assignment, and Bryan Corey has been called up.
I was no big fan of the Alfonseca signing, but he seemed to have done a decent job in the bullpen, and until his injury, Buck appeared to have a lot of confidence in him in the late innings.
I initially thought Littleton hadn't spent enough time in the minors since being optioned when John Rheinecker was called up, but by my count, Littleton has spent 11 days in the minors, which would allow him to be recalled.
