I am trying to understand the symbolism of the 1 day contract. I'm not criticizing you. Nomar and others have done this 1 day contract thing, but I just don't get it. Ten years from now people will look at Pedro's stats and see that he pitched his last game in the World Series for the Phillies. Bobby V talked about rooming with Tony C in the Padres organization attempting a comeback in Spring Training. I have no recollection of that and I can't find anything linking him to the Padres. Technically, I guess he retired as a Padre, but who would know. It would be meaningful if Pedro or Nomar for example took an AB or pitched to a batter while playing for the Sox the way Minnie Minosa took some token ABs to have played in a couple of additional decades. It would give the fans one last chance to say goodbye and it would be in the record books.
