Bobby Mosby returning to Rascals

The River City Rascals announced that 1B/DH Bobby Mosby will rejoin the club in 2008 after getting traded to the Joliet Jackhammers of the Northern League for the last month of the season in 2007.  Mosby is 6'3" 260-pounds and could probably play defensive tackle in the NFL when he finishes with his pro baseball career.

The 2008 season will be Mosby's 7th professional season and last year with River City he hit .273 with 13 doubles, 19 home runs, and 53 RBI in 62 games.  Mosby also has the advantage of playing in cozy T.R. Hughes ballpark, which isn't quite as homer-happy as GCS Ballpark (Gateway Grizzlies), but it isn't far behind.  Either way, Mosby isn't a guy you want to feed a 2-0 fastball even when you're playing in Wuerfel Park.  It might never come down.

A word to Beach Bums fans - when the Rascals come into Traverse City next season, don't eat your dinner at the picnic tables beyond the left field wall during Rascals batting practice.  Mosby almost killed someone sitting there last year.  It was the first time I've seen someone hit a ball in BP then yell, "Heads up!"
