June 7: José Santiago made nine relief appearances for the Lugnuts to start the year before skyrocketing up to become the first ever Nut to reach the Major Leagues. How did he debut? By recording the final out of a 10-4 Royals victory over the Texas Rangers, dispatching Dean Palmer with a popout to second base. Santiago went on to pitch 229 games in the Major Leagues for four teams, finishing with four relief appearances for the New York Mets in 2005.

September 14: Carlos Beltrán and Carlos Febles debut in a 16-6 rout of the Oakland Athletics that sees the host Royals pile up 19 hits and score in every inning. (The A's feature a young Eric Chavez and Miguel Tejada alongside Rickey Henderson, who swats one of his MLB career record 81 leadoff home runs, and Jason Giambi, who belts a three-run homer.) 21-year-old Beltrán comes in to replace RF Larry Sutton defensively in the seventh inning, playing center field, which moves Johnny Damon over to right. He then singles in his first at-bat and is doubled home by Dean Palmer before drawing a walk in his second plate appearance.

Honors: A.L. Rookie of the Year - Carlos Beltrán.

June 29: For the first time in his career, Carlos Beltrán homers from both sides of the plate and Chad Durbin pitches 8 2/3 innings in a 6-1 victory over Cleveland.

World Series: Anaheim Angels (1998 rehabber Kevin Appier) def. San Francisco Giants.

All-Star Game: The first Lugnut to be named an All-Star is relief pitcher Lance Carter, representing the Tampa Bay Devil Rays; he does not see action in the game.

He pitches three further seasons, wrapping up a six-season MLB career in 2006 with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

World Series: Florida Marlins (future 2011 Nuts manager Mike Redmond) def. New York Yankees.

June 24: The Kansas City Royals deal Carlos Beltrán in a three-team trade, sending him to the Houston Astros in exchange for John Buck from Houston and Mark Teahen and Mike Wood from Oakland. The A's also acquire Octavio Dotel from Houston.

All-Star Game: Carlos Zambrano pitches the fourth inning for the N.L., allowing a run on a hit and a walk with one strikeout, before new National Leaguer Carlos Beltrán pinch-hits for him and singles off CC Sabathia in the bottom of the fourth.

All-Star Game: Cubs teammates Carlos Zambrano and Carlos Mármol turned in scoreless outings for the National League, with Zambrano handling the third and fourth innings and Mármol striking out Michael Young and Carlos Quentin in the 13th inning. The game lasted 15 innings before the American League walked off, 4-3, on a Young sacrifice fly. Mármol, who had first played with the Nuts as a weak-hitting catcher before converting to pitching, was at the height of his nine-year career, even receiving MVP votes in 2007 for his relief work. He went on to strike out 114 batters in 2008 while allowing only 40 hits (and 41 walks) in 87 1/3 innings.

September 14: Hurricane Ike relocated the Cubs and Astros to Milwaukee, where Carlos Zambrano treated the Miller Park crowd to a 10-strikeout no-hitter. It's not just the first no-hitter thrown by a Lugnut in the Majors, it's the first no-hitter for a Chicago Cub since Milt Pappas in 1972.
