Player's Career Arc Exactly Mirrors Second Verse Of Steve Miller's 'Rock 'N Me'

NORWALK, CT—While listening to the radio on his drive home Monday afternoon, former MLB player Terry Boylan realized that his professional career exactly mirrors the travels of the man in the Steve Miller Band song “Rock ’N Me.” “I went from Phoenix, Arizona all the way to Tacoma, Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A.,” said Boylan, who was selected in the 1998 expansion draft by the Arizona Diamonbacks, traded to the Mariners and spent a season with their Triple-A affiliate Tacoma Rainiers, claimed by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2000 Rule 5 draft, released and picked up off waivers the following year by the Atlanta Braves, and traded once more to the Dodgers of Los Angeles. “Then I went to northern California—where the girls are warm—when I signed as a free agent with the San Francisco Giants. Though I didn’t go there to be with my sweet baby, incidentally that’s where I met my future wife. Weird.” Boylan added that he is not superstitious nor does he get suspicious, and his woman is a friend of his.
