He is currently with the Los Angeles Dodgers.\nHe got hurt, a muscle spasm, on March 31, and is on the 15 day disabled list.\nHe will return soon and play center field for the Dodgers.\nBecause of his age, he would only play 100- 125 games, which is still a lot...

Yes, as a Hurricanes Fan, we have frequented your stadium a few times in the past 25 years.  I've been following NCAA baseball since 1981 and it's a great game.  We've got a few good players in the Majors now, like Alex Rodriguez and Charles Johnson to name a few. Maybe we'll back to see you soon.

right here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\ncan't pick a favorite....love 'em all, but hate to say, wish they would get a different closer...I think Reitsma is gorgeous & sweet & has a beautiful family, but it scares me to death when we enter the last innings by a small margin & he comes up to pitch....otherwise, I LOVE 'EM ALL!

Yes it is good for baseball.  He is one of the greatest players to ever see the game.  And hes a good guy.  Did you hear what he did for the Lexington team?  he bought them freaking plasma screen tvs and a bunch of couches to revamp their dressing room.  Hes a good guy, a good player, and he still has it after all these years.  He  could probably go 5 years if he wanted to.

The New York Yankees celebrated "Lou Gehrigs Day" on July 4, 1939\n\nFans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break I got. Yet today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. I have been to ballparks for seventeen years and I have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. Look at these grand men. Which of you wouldn’t consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day? Sure I’m lucky. Who wouldn’t have considered it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also, the builder of baseball’s greatest empire, Ed Barrow? To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy? Sure, I'm lucky. When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to beat and vice versa, sends you a gift, that’s something. When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in the white coats remember you with trophies, that’s something. When you have a father and mother who work all their lives so that you can have an education and build your body, it's a blessing. When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed, that's the finest I know. So I close by saying that I might have had a bad break, but I have an awful lot to live for. Thank you."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Gehrig

I have an autographed picture, I met him when he came to the Chevy dealership (East Syracuse Chevy) I worked at in '94, real cool man, down to earth.  I really miss seeing him on the track, but I see more of him in Jr. every year.

I am a big Yankee Fan...\n\nI have more than one favorite, I like Jeter, A-Rod, Johnny Damon, B. Williams, and Paul O'Neill (I know he's retired now)\n\nGO YANKEES

I would have loved to sit down and watch a game with Kirby Puckett (RIP).  I am a Die Hard Tigers fan, but I (sports) idolized KP growing up.  I would just love to hear his view on the game and even if the game was slow, he would always keep me smiling.  A close second would be Buck O'Neill.  He is one of the greatest storytellers ever.\n\nCoincidentally, I could not stand Wade Boggs.  No specific reason why, just never liked him.  Probably because he and KP were always competing for the batting crown.  Might be a decent guy though.\n\nGreat question.  Makes you relive the glory days of your youth.  Always felt like I was sitting down next to Ernie Harwell when I would listen to the Tigers game late at night with my radio as a kid.

Well,I m not his fan,but I have met him when he came to Mohali to play a one day match 6 years back.I took his autograph and I was really bowled over by his down to earth personality.I think he is really a nice guy.

The man was all guts, played with heart everyday, never a slacker. His on field talent should be enough to get him into the hall. My problem is he never really admitted to the public and baseball itself that he was wrong. He kind of but not really did this last time.....for one I don't think it was enough. Admit your fully wrong Pete, you were too good a player to not be there.

i think boomer is going to retire. i can't believe all the hard work he did in rehab and this had to happen. that is a good assumption that Clemens would come back. i hope Weill's is OK. if boomer retires i hope we get Clemens back. GO SOX'S!!!!

I really enjoy watching inter league play.  It affords me the opportunity to see some of the top NL players that I generally only hear about on Sportscenter.  It's also nice to see your team play in a different light.  If you are in the AL playing in an NL park, you get to see what your pitchers have at bat or how your DH plays at 1st Base etc...  I like it and I do not think it should change.

Even though I am a Tigers fan and can vaguely remember the last time the Tigers were a legit team (1987, lost in ALCS to the Twins), I would venture to say that the White Sox will prevail in the Central.  Not that any of this will stop me from cheering for the Tigers this year and every other year, just the logic of White Sox having a little better overall talent.  But the Tigers have shown a tremendous amount of heart this year which I cant remember a Tigers team coming back and not quitting like this one.

Love the Rocket!  THE best pitcher of my lifetime (1973-Present).  If he would have started in Spring Training, he'd be out of gas by playoff time.  He's an old dude.  I have no problem with him waiting until now to come back.  Altough I didn't like the "maybe I'll come back, maybe I won't" business.  We all knew he was coming back.  The Stros made a great comeback in the second half of last season, and are set to do it again this year.  \n\nGo Stros!\n\nBut I did love watching my Buccos take 2 of 3 from them last weekend.  They got lucky on Sunday with the comeback from 4 down in the 9th.  That 18 inning game on Sat. night was one of the best I've ever seen.

YES! Beyond a shadow of any doubt whatsoever! Right On Dude for speaking your mind and telling it like it is! I mean, like seriously, 14 years is a long time to sit on your butt and not do anything to improve a team that was in bad shape. Now, because of mike ilitch, The Tigers are the laughing stock of Major League Baseball. What really cracks me up is that he says he cares--PHOOOEY!\n\nYeah right, he cares---more about the stupid deadwings!\n\nAnd dont give me this crap that he built Comerica Park either. We all know why he built it (look at where it is located, and tell me he is NOT a selfish greedy punk!)\n\nAll I can say is I will be glad to see him vacant 2100 woodward ave FOR GOOD!

It may have been Ken Caminitti. He played briefly for the Rangers, and I think he went back to the National League. He did die from a heart attack a few years ago, probably caused by his years of alcohol, drug, and steroid abuse. Sad.
