42-year-old Jim Leyritz, who last played in the majors in 2000, is considering a comeback in 2007.
This is what happens when guys like Gary Matthews Jr. and Gil Meche get $50 million contracts; all the old guys want another shot. Leyritz said he has been contacted by teams, and he thinks he could be of use as a reserve catcher and first baseman. “They asked me and I am going to start working out,” he said.
