Jim Caple’s column on ESPN discussed old-timers like Oil Can Boyd and Rickey Henderson playing for the independent leagues:
And Rickey Henderson, now of the San Diego Surf Dawgs, told reporters he should be playing in Yankee Stadium. “The Yankees have that guy (Tony) Womack playing left field,” Henderson said. “If I can’t play that position at least as well as he can, I’ll hang up the spikes right now.”
Nobody gives good quote like Rickey.
Seems all these old-timers should do really if they want to play in the majors is call up Brian Sabean and see if there’s a space open in his AARP roster…
