Hopefully he won't have to try throwing anyone out at the plate.

I'm happy for the guy.  Hell of a story.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Good for him. He has worked real hard to get back to the bigs.

How long before the Tanked Commander uses him to finish an inning to save a hitter/reliever?

I wonder if he'll bat 8th or 9th.

No shit. I wish him all the best. Stories like Ankiel's are great to show us all to never give up.

If he goes on to hit 700 homers, he will be just like a skinny Babe Ruth, but with parents.   
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

He didn't just rise out of some primordial soup. Babe Ruth had parents, they just didn't want to keep him.

Agree to disagree.

Ankiel just hit a three-run shot out to RF.  Curtain call from the BFIB.

Right, but realistically, any one of us could hit a homer off of Doug Brocail at this point.

This will occur just after he shakes off the lingering effects of the all to famous "men-dozing-line" hangover.
