Tatis sat out 2004, 2005, and 2007 and online played a combined 81 games in 2003 and 2006, but he's hitting .303 for the Mets this year. Good for him, I guess.

Fernando Tatis Still Plays Baseball
Fernando Tatis, basically known for nothing more than his elephant ears and hitting two grand slams in one inning off Chan Ho Park like 40 years ago, apparently thinks he has something left. He went 3-5 with a homer and two doubles Thursday night to lead the surging Mets to their 6th straight victory.
