Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
The man George Steinbrenner once called a "fat toad" is attempting a comeback. Seriously. Hideki Irabu, who turns 40 in less than a month and hasn't pitched in the majors since 2002, is trying to make a comeback to baseball, with his ultimate goal being reportedly a "high level, like MLB or NPB (Nippon Professional Baseball -- Japan's highest league)." Apparently he's grounded enough to know that he'll have to start in a United States' independent league, but this can't be serious. The guy was a colossal disappointment in the major leagues, and that was more than six years ago. His career ERA was 5.15.
I'm sure some independent team will give him a shot as a circus act, but that doesn't really increase his chances of a major league shot in Japan or the U.S.
Regardless, I'll forever be grateful for Irabu's disappointing stint in New York, because it gave us this:
