It's been four years since Matt Bush, who will turn 30 on Feb. 8, has played a professional baseball game.
However, he can't avoid the spotlight. Bush signed a Minor League contract with the Rangers on Friday -- though he wasn't extended an invite to their big league camp in the spring -- and it wound up being another major story.
Bush is receiving the opportunity to return to pro ball after 51 months of incarceration following a 2011 accident in which he was driving under the influence and fled the scene after hitting a 72-year-old man who was riding a motorcycle.
