The Golden Baseball League hopes to cash in on their latest signing. Ricky Henderson of A's fame. If you are wondering "Isn't he kinda old?" well you're right. At 46 he should readily take to what I would expect to be a grandfatherly role with the young players just hoping to extend their careers after High School or College ends. The league is kind of interesting. They have teams in California, Arizona, and Japan. That's right, Japan. The Samuri Bears are the lone Japanese team making the GBL the first American league to include a Japanese team. I am not sure of the quality they will get from players who are willing to work for the money they are offering (Henderson will be making $3,000 a month) but at $6 a game it might be worth an afternoon in Long Beach to check out the Armada play.

Good point Rich, but I think that is issue with his age has to due with age being the precipitating factor is the deterioration of his skills. He must not have developed much of a life outside of baseball for a start-up league like this to get his attention. Might be funny to watch though.
