It is amazing how quickly his fate turned. When he left Boston, the move was supposed to cripple the Red Sox and guarantee the Angels a trip to the World Series.
Even though Boston replaced Mo with Jose Offerman (read that again, if you need to...), the Sox didn't suffer for long.
The Angels did indeed get their trip to the Series--ending in a title.....but it was long after Mo left the coast.
One tumble into the dugout and he was never the same--for Anaheim or the Mets.
In a weird way, he reminds me of Grant Hill. Strong years---leading to a huge payday for another team.....and then nothing but injuries follow.
