Edgardo Alfonso comes home sort of


Ok so he is not coaching for the Mets. No he is not playing for the 2010 LI Ducks. He is playing for a rival of theres the Newark Bears. Edgardo loves to play and is not ready to give it up after a horrible year playing in Japan with the Yomiuri Giants. His teammates will include former Met closer Armando "dont rattle me" Benitez.

According to the Bears website, Edgardo has a career major league average of .284 with 1,532 hits and 744 RBI. His best season came in 1999 with the Mets, when he hit .304 with 191 hits, 41 doubles, and 108 RBI. He batted .313 in five games played. He played in the 2000 all star game.

One of these days we will see him as a coach maybe even with the Mets but he is not ready to hang up his spikes just yet.

Met fans can get a glimpse of him when he comes to LI to play the ducks over the 4th of July weekend for a 4 game set.
