In before the whistle! Creative retirement stunts haven't grown old yet, and - despite what one stick in the mud former Major Leaguer may think - bat flips certainly haven't gotten old either. So suck it Goose Gossage, because Willie Bloomquist just called it a career with one momentous flip of the wrist. Yeah, I suppose a sendoff this symbolic feels like it should have been reserved for someone with a little more of an impact on the game, but if Willie wasn't going to make his mark when he was on the field then he might as well leave it as he walks off of it forever. Just a perfect ending to a not-so-perfect career. One more clunk of the lumber and Willie Blomquist - the utility player I never knew existed - sails off into the sunset...about 5 seconds after I found out who he was. We might have wasted the good 'goodbye' on a guy we have never heard of, but at least he has a sense of humor about it...
