The big guy's still hanging in there.

"Hernandez, 40, joins 43-year-old first baseman Andres Galarraga as the most experienced invitee to the Mets' Spring Training."

My knees ache for the both of them at the thought of Galarraga fielding a bunt and Roberto covering 1B.

And still doing a pretty admirable job. Since '97, there have been more than a few times I wish we still had him down there.

They can also extend an Invite to Jesse Orosco so he can retire a Met.....

Galarraga is still trying to play so he can afford to have his rookie card colorized.....
