Or an Indian, Met, White Sock, Diamondback or Devilray. Stuck around at very least 3 years too long.

Enjoyed him as a Blue Jay, rock solid defense and some clutch hits in the post season, such as that one off Eckersley on a Sunday afternoon, where the the American press and broadcasters (and Eckersley himeself) kept telling everyone that Eckersley was invincible.

But the above mentioned stuff, and hanging around just to get a check, took some of the shine off of him for me, personally.
