Baseball DIY

The current issue of the New Yorker has an article about Ricky Henderson who is playing for the Surf Dawgs in a league I have never heard of (they say it is the bottom of the bottom and that sounds about right). He is apparently hanging on this season in the hopes of getting to the majors so he can retire in a major league uniform - something that was impossible when he was dumped by the A's.

It is, without a doubt, one of the saddest articles I have ever read. It's not right for him to be left like this, not right at all.

(You will have to buy the magazine to read the article I'm afraid; they don't have it up on the website.)
