We all knew these days were coming. Even as the rookie Yadi was receiving that nasty curveball from rookie Adam Wainwright on the final pitch of the ’06 World Series. Eventually, we were going to have to face the music, we were going to have to deal with that fact that Yadi cannot catch for the Cardinals forever.
As much as I hate to say it, those days are coming, heck they are probably already here. Yadi watched Travis Ishikawa and the Giants walk off in the 2014 NLCS from the bench. Then he had to watch Chicago dog pile after their 2015 NLDS victory from that same vantage point.
