Quote: The Next Chapter
In an article for MLB.com, Marty Noble speaks with former Mets pitcher Aaron Heilman regarding his trade to the Mariners.
Heilman, as quoted by Noble:
“This is just the next chapter in the life of a baseball player. What do they say? ‘If you haven’t been traded, released, booed or aired out by your manager, you haven’t played long enough.’”
“I never wanted to leave because I got booed. I never had the feeling I wanted to leave New York. I loved playing there. I’m looking forward to the new opportunity, whatever it is.”
…any heilman post is usually received with bitterness, which is not entirely unjustified, but i know people who know aaron personally and he is truly a great guy who just wore out his welcome here in new york…a fresh start will do him good and i wish him the best…
