We?ve had all kinds of fun with the story of the 49 year-old Jamie Moyer coming back from Tommy John surgery and actually landing a job in the major leagues. But now it seems that fun is over:
Sad jams.
Moyer made 10 starts for the Rockies and, overall, the results were poor. He was 2-5 with a 5.70 ERA and allowed a league-leading 75 hits in 53 and two-thirds innings while sporting a 1.733 WHIP.?For his career, Moyer is 269-209 with a 4.25 ERA in a staggering 25 seasons.
Though the end ? if this is the end ? is sad, there was never any reason to believe he?d even make it back after his Tommy John surgery. ?The story, in my view anyway, is still a happy one. One of?perseverance and determination,?even if he never pitches in the bigs again. TV movie stuff, here, and I mean that in the best way possible.
Here?s hoping he latches on someplace. Or, if he doesn?t, that he finds peace in retirement. A long delayed retirement that many pitchers with twice Moyer?s talent and physical gifts started a decade earlier than he will.
