@notgaetti And to add to that….it was his age 37 season and he’d only played a total of 65 games in the outfield prior to that…..after being an All-Star catcher (super easy position) and an All-Star, GG (another super easy position.)
@notgaetti I read his autobiography the summer b4 he died, the day after he passed, I went to Yankee stadium for the first time ever and they had a tribute/memorial for him b4 the game, the date was 9/10/1999…vs Boston…”The Pedro Game”
@EmSheDoesIt@notgaetti lol, yeah he did his “one trick” at a better clip than anyone. Ever. Also, couldn’t Mo Rivera be considered a one-trick pony too…worked out well for him.
@CantH0LDMe I just really don’t get why he didn’t get any good offers…dude mashes, plays everyday, plays hard, no off or on field drama….what more does a guy gotta do???
@relentlezz41@NY_EvilEmpire Which is crazy and sad for Cards fans and baseball, it’s one of the few clubs everyone could say that they’ll be competitive every year.
@YankeeLibrarian I’m not gonna lie I got sad thinking about Judge the last couple of days. I was trying to figure what his career totals could be. He could get to 2,000 games, but as far as years, we are in the second half of his career and it’s crazy how fast it’s flow by.
@yankeesapple Traded for Judge from Fresno State, Wells from Arizona, Ben Rice from the Ivy League, Volpe from 10 mins away and Jasson from middle school…Cashman is actually super savvy. Huge risk on trading for Schmidt from the TJ surgery recovery room too
@notgaetti I hear ya. I’m 3 months older than Verlander, the oldest player on a current roster, really need Rich Hill to make another comeback this year.
