That would be the ideal, storybook finish but we all know the odds are against it. Only one team will win the World Series next year. Like this year, he'll be lucky to find himself on a team that even makes the post season. I wish him luck but he ought not get his hopes up for this storybook ending to his career.

When he plays the OF no doubt. He needs to agree to DH or PH. Maybe a little 1B if his legs can handle the stretch.
