If he's such a cash cow will they make him keep playing even
after he's no longer any good? Or will making him a coach
be good enough?

The news stories that got out here portrayed him as a

I'm surprised nobody has come up with a batting practice
machine that can simulate a real pitcher's pitches: you
know, dial up "Nolan Ryan's fastball, high and in" and
poof, out it pops. One could project a virtual pitcher
out there with a windup and stuff.
