Memories of Ruben Tejada 2.0

The Blue Jays signed Ruben Tejada to a minor league deal on January 17. His 2019 return was low-key, as were the results: six games, nine at-bats, zero hits. It will go down with Ray Sadecki's in 1977 as, "he came back?"

He came back?

It must be so frustrating to be a AAAA player. I mean, for the rest of us, it's easy to get over the fact that we will never make it in the bigs. But for these guys, to be so close. Like if the top 30 shortstops in baseball got hit by lightning, then boom. Ruben's a major leaguer.

Forever conflated him with Miguel Tejada

No room for Tom Seaver on that team?

I think most of us remember that Tom Seaver had a second stint with the Mets.

Seaver is the captain of the He Came Back! Team — a very different squad.

Gotcha! I missed the question mark aspect and misunderstood. Very different type of team! My bad.

Although few remember Tom Seaver's attempted comeback with the Mets in 1987. Never on the roster, but I remember him in uniform in the dugout.

Tom wearing the sweet 1987 road uniform! We had tickets for the night we thought he was going to be back -- before Barry Lyons roughed him up in a sim game. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e1/db/bb/e1dbbb9442ef35733366f322d7a8b4a1.jpg>

Benjamin Grimm Jan 30 2020 08:59 AM Re: Memories of Ruben Tejada 2.0

Maybe. But I think it was from 1987, during the time that Seaver was back with the Mets.

Willets Point Jan 30 2020 09:00 AM Re: Memories of Ruben Tejada 2.0

In an alternate universe, where Seaver is not claimed in the free-agent compensation draft, that's a photo of two members of the Mets rotation in 1984-1985.

Frank Lary came back. And Chase Utley still sucks. Later
