Ryan Church finally plays in a real, live baseball game

I'm not lying. Ryan Church is playing baseball again.

Church went 1-3 in his first rehab game, appearing as a DH for the Gulf Coast Mets.

In other news, Trot Nixon is rehabbing as well, and he went 2-2 and played left field.

Obviously, I'm more excited about Church returning. If he can come back and play like he was before the concussions and migraines, this team will be all right. He's due to be fresh as he's taking most of the season off.

Hallelujah!
