Cobb Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Source: ESPN.com "If we're in contention, we'll put him on the roster Aug. 31. It's a nice little dream," La Russa told the newspaper. However unlikely the scenario might be, La Russa said it's not impossible. "Is it likely? Probably not. I don't think it's a zero possibility. The point is, you'll see him in spring training. He won't be leaning on the batting cage chatting it up. He'll work his [butt] off, and hitters will be thrilled he's there helping them," La Russa told the newspaper.People have done it before so why not. Chances of it happening are slim but hey, I'd be the first one to tune in and watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx. Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I think La Russa is doing this just to give an old friend a chance at making it in the hall of fame. If he gets one bat this year, he wont be in the ballots for the hall of fame voting for another 5 years. I'm thinking then by his last ballot in 20 years or so, people will have a different persona towards him and he will have a better shot making the hall of fame.
