From November 23, 2006:
I was just looking at the Lynx roster on their website to see if there’d been any changes since I was last there. All the former (Baltimore) Lynx players are gone, except for Andy Tracy. I took a quick look at a few websites and Googled to see if I’d missed an FA signing, but came up empty. Did I miss something or is this an error on the website?
Mr. Tracy’s a bit of an enigma for Lynx fans. Some days he’d toss every ball into the stands on his way back to the dugout (after recording the last out) - other days he wouldn’t throw any. Just when you were starting to think he was a jer…., er…. aloof, he’d stand around after the game ended, signing autographs until the Sharpie ran dry.
Will he be returning to Ottawa in April? I’ll keep checking and let you know. *** UPDATE ***
And the answer is now “no”. Andy’s been signed by the New Orleans Zephyrs of the PCL (the AAA affiliate of the New York Mets).
(Another signing that caught my eye yesterday was Tim Raines Jr. - he’s now playing in the Houston organization.)
