Jeff Bagwell arrives with a $15.6 million dollar insurance tag on his head if he can’t play

On February 24 , 2006 — It’s normally not news when a player shows up for spring training but that’s not true this time for Jeff Bagwell. The first baseman arrives with a $15.6 million dollar insurance tag on his head if he can’t play. Bagwell insists he’ll play despite an arthritic right shoulder that required surgery the previous year. He fields grounders and hits in light drills the first day and talks briefly with owner Drayton McLane.

Bagwell will never play another game.
