Why did Tatis return to baseball ?
Tatis had n't played regularly since 2002 and only hit .228 that year . The next year he played in 53 games hitting .194 and made a brief appearance in 2006 with the Orioles hitting .250 in 28 games . As the story goes Tatis was comfortably retired when his community needed a new church so he went back to baseball in the hopes of earning enough to build the church . He spent all of last year in AAA and was a early season call - up this year .
