Thanks for the Memories-Carlos Hernandez

On Saturday night the Padres honored the 10th anniversary of the 1998 World Series team. I attended the game on Saturday. So did Carlos Hernandez.

Carlos Hernandez came to the Padres from the Dodgers in 1997. He was the starting catcher for much of 1998. For some reason, my memory deceived me as I have always remembered him as an above average backstop. In fact, he only had an OPS+ of 83 that season. Nonetheless, I will always have fond memories of Carlos, and for that reason, I proudly gave him a standing ovation when his name was announced on Saturday night. Thanks for the memories Carlos!
