He's 40 years old and pitching for the Long Beach Armada in the Golden Baseball League, an independent professional league where players make between 1-3 grand a month plus housing.
Apparently, Irabu wants to see whether he can make a comeback to the major leagues.
One of Irabu's teammates is Jose Lima who last pitched for the Mets in 2006 and still is only 36 years old.
Quite frankly, I don't think he'll make it, but it would be interesting to watch him pitch for Long Beach who are probably getting an attendance boost with Irabu on the roster.
Former Yankee is best known to have been called "a fat toad" by George Steinbrenner.
Former Golden Baseball Leaguers include Ricky Henderson and Jose Canseco.
