Any of us who watch or follow baseball are quite aware of Rick Ankiel and his struggles on the mound in the play-offs. We also are aware of his come back attempts as a outfielder. He will be having surgery on left knee and will be out the season. I saw Rick pitch back in 1998 (I believe--I am old memory going) at a game in Ft. Wayne when the Peoria Chiefs were there. He blew away almost everyone. Rick was so dominating that they had to quickly promote him, guys were not even making contact against him. At any rate I have always rooted for him but this is a step in the wrong direction in getting back to the majors...here is more from cnnsi.com
