MENLO PARK, CA -- Two weeks after being released by the Seattle Mariners, former MLB outfielder Eric Byrnes suffered another major setback to his career Thursday night when he was cut from the Dutch Goose sponsored Menlo Park softball team. The team was organized by close friends of the once-good hitter, and they took a chance by signing the now-bad hitter. Byrnes was notified of his release at the Dutch Goose bar following Thursday's loss when the free-swinger struck out 6 times, a team record.
Despite reaching the end of his once-promising baseball career, a delusional Byrnes continues to retain a positive attitude about his situation.
"I hear the Chipotle team in Palo Alto needs a fourth outfielder," Byrnes said with a California smile. "You know, they're only a few games out of first place."
Byrnes is still owed a $50 league-fee refund from the Dutch Goose organization.
