I've been meaning to post a Rick Ankiel update since I first posted about his comeback. So here has what has been happening lately for the comeback kid:
In 29 games with the Cardinals, Ankiel is batting .301, with 29 RBIs and 9 HRs. He also has 3 outfield assists.
However, the big news with Ankiel was the story that he received shipments of human growth hormone in 2004. Personally, since we live in a time that every athlete that accomplishes anything is automatically under a scrutiny of suspicion, what Ankiel has accomplished this year is in no way lessoned by this story.
I still want his jersey! And I hope he makes the Opening Day roster next year, as it looks like the defending champs have fallen out of the NL Central race.
