Memories of Big Jim Henderson

[Edgy MD]

Jim's signed a minor league contract with the Cubs, hoping some of that soft, yellow, first-championship-in-108-years light shines on him. IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY, JIMBO!

He was an absolute sensation over his first 15 appearances, then he wasn't. You could sort of tell by looking at him he wasn't right.

Wore No. 51 like veteran reliever predecessors Mike Maddux, Rick White and Mel Rojas

Seemed like the real deal until he didn't anymore.

Terry rode him hard in April when playoff spots are won as much as they are in September. Followed the path of Ken Henderson in that he was never as good in the other months of the year. Glad he made it back. Good luck.

Yea, that April. 14 Ks in 8.1 innings. I thought we had a three headed beast that would serve the rest of the season. Then a bumpy May and pffffft* after that TC avoided using him.
