River Ave. Blues ยป Checking in on Figueroa

Checking in on Figueroa

A-Rod to fulfill mom's dream during WBC
Doing the Sabathia dance in Vegas

Ed Figueroa had a brief but memorable stint in the Major Leagues. In 1978, he became the first Puerto Rican to win 20 games and won a World Series while with the Yankees. He would go on to win just seven more games over the next three years as injuries cut short his career. Figueroa now owns a few restaurants in Puerto Rico, and Anthony McCarron checked in on him recently. It sounds like the stalwart from the late 1970s Yankees teams is enjoying himself these days.
