Its a good story and would be a great comeback, even for one more year. If he can play at a major league level and I say go ahead.

Yeah, The Rock making a comeback would be great. It was nice seeing him playing against his son today against the Orioles. I just hope he doesn't go out with a whimper though, I hope he can still compete like he used to.

I have a very close friend who battled Lupus for a long time. It was extremely difficult for all of those close to him. He's back now and in relatively good health but when I read about Rock making a comeback from it, I was floored.
A lot of people don't know about the disease because it's simply not very common. But those that know anyone that has dealt with it know how severe it can get. You have good days, and bad days.
This is one of the all-time great guys and I really hope he can come through and give Expos fans that sense of nostalgia in remembering what he meant to that ballclub early on in his career.

Great story. I can see him making the Expos' roster. He'd be a great mentor.
Great to see another comeback in making and it looks like one similar to the one in the NBA before and NHL presently.....all of them history making players.......
