Phil Hughes posted over
on his Blog today that he had talked with Sean Henn about taking over his #34 jersey number. To sweeten the deal, Hughes said he promised to buy Henn dinner at
Fleming's Prime Steakhouse. I guess its not that bad of a deal for Henn since he probably didn't have much choice in the whole matter.
He did caution that nothing was 100% sure so stay tuned for more...
He also explained why he wanted #34:
"3+4=7, my Mom’s favorite number, and 34 was the number of my favorite pitcher growing up, Nolan Ryan"
Nolan Ryan is a great pitcher to emulate!!! Keep it up!!!
