One of my all-time favorite movies is The Natural. Set during the Great Depression, it’s the inspiring story of an aging one-time phenom named Roy Hobbs emerging from the shadows of semi-pro baseball and a career tragically derailed to spur the fictitious New York Knights to the National League pennant.
Could our Penguins have the shinny version of Hobbs perched under their very noses?
Perhaps.
A couple of days ago, PP commenter Nick suggested the Pens sign Jaromír Jágr to a contract for the remainder of the season. I was still considering my response when I read about Jaromír’s exploits at our practice yesterday.
