Heads up, folks — Big Z is back in town!
Yep, former Cubs pitcher and one-time walking volcano Carlos Zambrano — all 6-4 and 275 pounds (or so) of him — is suiting up to play baseball once again in Chicago at age 37.
But the big fellow’s not back with the Cubs, for whom he played 11 of his 12 major-league seasons, from 2001 to 2011. No, he’s making a comeback as a relief pitcher for the Chicago Dogs of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball.
