Wow how’s that for a hell of an off-season! This is a team that brought back Kevin McReynolds and had the beloved duo of Ryan Thompson and Jeff Kent (I would still rather have David Cone and he is 54 years old.)
Fortunately the baseball gods put a stop to this season and didn’t play a World Series. On the other hand, the sport has never been as good as the record books were about to be irrevocably destroyed while the MSM kept their head in the sand in the name of ratings.
