He doesn't have the business of coming back to the original franchise, but other than that, very much so.<br /><br />And then he went pumpkin again...the big year was 2005, and he had about 75 IP remaining in organized ball. That he went bad is no surprise, but looking back it seems odd that he just quit at that point; anyone know if he got hurt? You'd think that a guy who spend so long hanging in there before he struck it big would have stuck around for a few more years hoping for lighting to strike twice.Jonathan Bernsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15931039630306253241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-75254982170127268672011-05-22T12:26:42.392-05:002011-05-22T12:26:42.392-05:00Aaron Small?Aaron Small?snarkoutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-59703720175849219322011-05-21T22:07:53.272-05:002011-05-21T22:07:53.272-05:00The name Ryan Vogelsong sounds suspiciously simila...The name Ryan Vogelsong sounds suspiciously similar to Ricky 'Wild Thing' Vaughn.<br /><br />Just sayin'.CSHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-86178720976432776192011-05-21T14:09:49.521-05:002011-05-21T14:09:49.521-05:00You made me think of the Yankees' Dion James h...You made me think of the Yankees' Dion James http://bit.ly/lWqZxQ (couldn't remember his name and had to look up 90s rosters) -- also bounced around quite a bit, including to Japan (though after his golden season with Yankees, not before, as I thought), with a couple of sterling years. What I remember is him telling one of the Yankee radio announcers, Michael Kay, when he was tearing it up in what turns out to be 1993, "I hope I don't wake up."Andrew Sprunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601269968798865106noreply@blogger.com
