Alfonso Soriano Dominican Republic Baseball Player Profile,Bio & Photos 2012

Born: January 7, 1976
Place of birth: San Pedro de Macoris, Dom. Rep
Name : Alfonso Soriano
Nickname : Sori
Height: 6-1
Weight: 180
Nationality : Dominican Republic
Bats: Right
Throws: Right
Family : Wife, Angelica; daughters Alisis and Angeline; son Alfonso Jr.
Primary position: Left field

A shortstop by trade, Alfonso knew he'd have to find another position if he hoped to play for the Yankees in 2001. Derek Jeter wasn't going to play anywhere but short and Chuck Knoblauch was entrenched at second base. Alfonso went to left field in spring training, but after Knoblauch couldn't overcome his throwing problems, the two switched positions. Knoblauch left the Yankees at the end of the season, but Alfonso isn't going back to the outfield. He adapted quite well to his new position in 2001 and led the Yankees, as well as all major-league second basemen, with 43 stolen bases. He displayed good power -- hitting 18 homers and 73 RBI to go with a .268 batting average -- and finished third in the voting for American League Rookie of the Year behind Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki and Cleveland's C.C. Sabathia. Alfonso had an excellent postseason, as well, and even hit a dramatic ninth-inning home run to win Game 4 of the ALCS against the Mariners.
Growing up in the Dominican Republic, Alfonso probably never heard the great baseball expression "a walk's as good as a hit." He's a free swinger who didn't draw his first base on balls in 2001 until his 25th game of the season. In addition to his speed, Alfonso has the arm and range to become a steady defender. He was actually signed by Hiroshima of the Japanese League when he was just 16 years old. After three seasons in Japan, he "retired" so he could sign a free-agent deal with the Yankees in 1998.

Full Name: Martín Gaston Demichelis
Nationality: Argentina
Date of birth: 20 December 1980
Age: 31
Country of birth: Argentina
Place of birth: Justiniano
PossePosition: Defender
Height: 184 cm
Weight: 78 kg
Foot: Right

Martín Gaston Demichelis (Born December 20, 1980 in Justiniano Posse, CÃ³rdoba) is an Argentine football player who usually plays as a defensive midfielder for FC Bayern Munich, but because of his aerial ability, he is often used as a backup defender as well.

Micho started playing professionally in 1998 at Buenos Aires based club River Plate, but he didn't manage to find himself a spot in the starting line-up until 2001. He had some good performances at River Plate, which resulted in a transfer to FC Bayern Munich in 2003. His first season with the German team was not very positive, because he suffered a number of minor injuries, but under the command of coach Felix Magath, he has found a place in the teams' starting line-up. MartÃn has also played a vital role for Bayern in winning their two consecutive "doubles" in 2005, and 2006.

Thom Evans Rugby Star Profile,Bio and Images/Photos 2012

Full name: Thom Henry Evans
Date of birth: 2 April 1985
Place of birth: Harare, Zimbabwe
Height: 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m)
Weight: 14 st 5 lb (91 kg)
School: Wellington College, Berkshire
Notable relative(s): Max Evans Chris Evans
Position: Fullback, Wing
Current age: 26 years 339 days
Major teams: Glasgow, London Wasps, Scotland A, Scotland

Thom Evans had a breakthrough season in 2004/2005 as he followed an impressive performance against the Stormers in his first XV debut with his first Premiership appearance against Worcester in April. He also received an invitation from England Seven Coach, Mike Friday, to play in the 'Samurai' development seven in Amsterdam after a starring performance during the Floodlit Sevens at Rosslyn Park with the A Team Seven.

Evans comes from a strong sporting family as his mother, Sally Evans, was the 100M provincial champion for Durban Province in South Africa. His father, Brian Evans was a professional golfer that won a few opens on the European tour.

Although Evans moved into the Academy from Wellington College, he has travelled down some very unique roads in his life outside of rugby. It's quite easy for Evans to say that if he were not playing rugby, he would be a rock star because ' at least for a while ' he already was. He and his group, Twen2y 4 se7en, were beginning to draw some rather large crowds by the time that he made the make or break decision to leave a music career behind and focus on rugby full-time.

Evans admits, however, that he still wants to be a pin-up with his face on every wall and he's still known to break out some moves on the dance floor. He also enjoys playing golf, seeing films, and listening to music.
