Russell Oles Branyan is an American former professional baseball first baseman, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cleveland Indians, Cincinnati Reds, Milwaukee Brewers, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, San Diego Padres, Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals, Seattle Mariners, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. He batted left-handed and threw right-handed. While primarily a first baseman, Branyan was capable of playing third base and the outfield, as well.

The 2006 Chicago White Sox season was their first since winning the World Series the season before. They finished with a record of 90–72, good enough for third place in the American League Central, six games behind the champion Minnesota Twins.

The 2002 New York Mets season was the 41st regular season for the Mets. They went 75–86 and finished fifth in the National League East. They were managed by Bobby Valentine. They played home games at Shea Stadium.

The Oakland Athletics' 1999 season involved the A's finishing second in the American League West with a record of 87 wins and 75 losses. In doing so, the Athletics finished with their first winning record since 1992. The campaign was also the first of eight consecutive winning seasons for the Athletics.

The Cincinnati Reds' 1998 season was a season in American baseball. It consisted of the Cincinnati Reds attempting to win the National League Central.

The 2004 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 116th for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 47th season in Los Angeles, California. It brought change to the Dodgers as the sale of the franchise to developer Frank McCourt was finalized during spring training. McCourt promptly dismissed General Manager Dan Evans and hired Paul DePodesta to take over the team. That led to a flurry of trade activity as the new group attempted to rebuild the Dodgers in their image.

The Milwaukee Brewers' 2004 season involved the Brewers' finishing sixth in the National League Central with a record of 67 wins and 94 losses. The main highlight of the Brewers season was on the big screen, as the franchise was portrayed fictionally in the sports comedy Mr. 3000, starting Bernie Mac.

The 1998 Chicago White Sox season was the White Sox's 99th season. They finished with a record of 80–82, good enough for second place in the American League Central, 9 games behind the first place Cleveland Indians.

The 2004 Pittsburgh Pirates season was the 123rd season of the franchise; the 118th in the National League. This was their fourth season at PNC Park. The Pirates finished fifth in the National League Central with a record of 72–89.

The 2006 San Diego Padres season was the 38th season in franchise history. The Padres captured their second consecutive National League West title, with a record of 88–74, tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers by virtue of winning the season series 13–5 against the Dodgers. The 2006 season also marked the end of Bruce Bochy's tenure as manager of the team, after 24 seasons overall, 12 seasons as manager (1995–2006), winning 4 division titles. The Padres were eliminated in the NLDS by the eventual World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals, losing 3–1.

The 1996 Montreal Expos season was the 28th season in franchise history. An 88–74 finish was good enough to put them in second in the National League East, 8 games behind the National League Champion Atlanta Braves and 2 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Wild Card standings.

The 2001 Montreal Expos season was the 33rd season in franchise history.

The 2000 Cleveland Indians season was the 100th season for the franchise, within the American Major League Baseball organization. For the season two new players were signed; Chris Coste and Mark Whiten. The results of the season consisted of 90 wins and 72 losses.

The 2001 Cleveland Indians season was the 101st season for the franchise.

The 2002 Philadelphia Phillies season was the 120th season in the history of the franchise. The team failed to improve upon their 86–76 record from the previous season. However, this would be their last losing season until 2013.

The 2004 Atlanta Braves season marked the franchise's 39th season in Atlanta and 134th overall. The Braves won their tenth consecutive division title, finishing 10 games ahead of the second-place Philadelphia Phillies.

The 1994 Cleveland Indians season was the 94th season for the franchise. For the first time since 1986, the Indians finished the season with a winning record. However, the 1994 season ended prematurely due to the 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike that ended the season on August 12. It was the first season for the Indians playing at Jacobs Field after playing at Cleveland Stadium since 1946.

The 2002 Cleveland Indians season was the 102nd season for the franchise. The 2002 Major League Baseball season began on March 31, 2002.The team finished third in the American League Central behind the Minnesota Twins and the Chicago White Sox.

The 2003 Cleveland Indians season was the 103rd season for the franchise. The 2003 Major League Baseball season began on March 30, 2003. The team finished fourth in the American League Central behind the Minnesota Twins, Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals

The 2005 Cleveland Indians season was the 105th season for the franchise. It involved the Indians attempting to win the American League Central. They had a very good September, and went into a season-closing series with the Chicago White Sox with a chance to tie the White Sox record and make it into the playoffs, but lost three close games to finish 6 games behind the White Sox, who were the eventual World Series winners, eliminating Cleveland from the possibility to go to the playoffs.
