Don't let the headline mislead you. He's not going to the Yankees to be their new setup man. But Rick Ankiel did hit two more homeruns last night against the Dodgers, en route to another Cardinals' win, 6-1.For those of you keeping score, he now trails current all-time home run leader Barry Bonds by just 755 round-trippers. Ankiel should pass Bonds some time in 2012 if he keeps up his current pace of one homerun every 4 at-bats.
In all seriousness, this guy is one hell of an athlete. He's physically gifted, but even stronger emotionally to have come back from the breakdown he suffered in 2000.
And what I like about him now is, he's grounded.
After the game he told reporters quite simply, "don't hold me to days like this."
What's not to like about this guy?
