A Sportsfrog Favorite Returns
Last year some of the guys from the Frog purchsed a 7XL yellow sweater from Ebay and sent it to El Guapo. We never heard from him regarding our thoughtful gift, but Garces himself is back.
Those of you who have rubbed those "El Guapo Bobble Belly" dolls (I have to find one of those for myself.) in hopes that it would result in the return of former Red Sox reliever Rich Garces to the Nashua Pride, your wish has come true.
After expecting to pitch most of the season in Mexico, Garces was released last week by Potros de Tijuana, after the Mexican League team was struggling at 13-22. He immediately phoned Pride general manager Chris Hall and a deal was worked out.
"I'm happy to be back with Nashua," Garces said. "I want to compete and win another championship and the Pride is the team I want to do it with."
