Your first print is after the splice:
@players = ("ryno", "fukudome", "grace", "banks", "santo",
"soto", "marmol", "sori", "bigZ", "pie");
print "The original array is @players\n"; # <== print before splicing
@dump = splice(@players, 0,2, "theriot", "sosa");
print "The players dumped by the splice are: @dump.\n";
print "The spliced array is now @players.\n";
