Final Adios, Santo Vinny

So our dear departed St. Vinny led Team Mexico to victory in the Caribbean Series yesterday and called it a career. (And who knew there were so many guys named "Corona" on Mexico's national team? Are they all brothers, like Bengie, Jose, Yadier, and Stephen Molina?)

Back when the Nationals were a first-place team, they were so in large part because St. Vinny had unleashed a bit of holy wrath, hitting for about six weeks like Washington was a mile high instead of inches above sea level. Not to mention that he was the prettiest National. At the hot corner, and at the dish, Vinny was ¡caliente!

Now that he's retired as the home-run-hittingest Mexican player ever, he hopes to make it in coaching. To which BallWonk can only say Godspeed, St. Vinny.
