Nick Johnson (supposedly) comes home

For Washington and Florida last season, Nick Johnson had a .426 on-base
percentage, third in the majors behind Joe Mauer and Albert Pujols.


So in conclusion, the guys who were on base the most in the entirety of the major leagues:
1. the AL MVP
2. the NL MVP
3. the guy who will now usually be on base in front of Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez.

Oh God it's so beautiful (cries)

Now I know he has some sort of crazy injury it seems every year. I will be very worried if there is a particularly raucous celebration at home plate after a walk-off win, and if he is, in fact, the one that hits a walk-off home run, I hope everyone doesn't jump on him very strongly. That said, I'm quite pleased, even if I will miss Matsui and Damon (and Damon may still come back, but I hope it's not for a mrazillion years).
