Omar Vizquel closes out storied career in style
MLB.com | 10/03/12
TORONTO -- Omar Vizquel was inserted into the lineup for the last time of his storied career on Wednesday, the final game of the 2012 season, at shortstop, the position where it all began for him.
The Venezuelan native first took the field as a 22-year-old with the Mariners at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum in 1989, and he finishes it at Rogers Centre as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays, the sixth different team for which he he has played.
Vizquel said one thing that never got old as he kept growing older was the amount he learned each year, including his final season in Toronto.
"This game made me grow up like a man. There is no other thing in life that I wanted to be, but just be a baseball player," said the 45-year-old.
