Yo .... (its) Adrian

From Art Thiel's Seattle P-I.com article of March 18

"Our surveys show fans don't identify with players now as when they were on a first-name basis. Certainly, they haven't developed love for Jose Guillen and Jose Vidro. There's only a little bit of love for Jose Lopez. It's starting to happen for Richie Sexson and Andre Beltre."
-- Chuck Armstrong, President of the Seattle Mariners

===================================

Ummm ... Chuck .... ?  Speaking of first names, Mr. Beltre's first name is Adrian, not Andre.

(boy am I hoping it was a transcription/editing error in the article, rather than a goof from the team president!)

Thanks to Alex Carnevale of Baseball Prospectus for the original quote citation.
