Former Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano thinks that he can overcome his age, his reputation, and a long major league absence to make it back to the big leagues.
''Why not?'' Zambrano said Monday from Marlins Park where the Cubs are playing this week. ''Bartolo [Colon] pitched until he was 45. I'm 37.''
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Zambrano showed off an email from the independent Chicago Dogs that welcomed him to this season's team. The Dogs play in the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball, and their season starts May 17.
Carlos Zambrano says he had "an encounter with God" that brought him back to baseball.
