George Mesa to Try Experimental Eye Surgery
Wednesday, November 24th, 2066
The Lagunillas has announced that center fielder, George Mesa, has elected to undergo an experimental -- and potentially dangerous -- eye surgery to correct his failing vision. The procedure, which will be performed by world renowned Korean ophthalmologist Seung-soo Kim, has yet to be performed on a human being. Dr. Kim is quoted as saying, "We've performed the surgery -- successfully I might add -- on rats, several pigs, and, most recently, a rhesus monkey."

Due to pronounced astigmatism, the more common LASIK eye surgery is not possible for Mesa. "I really feel like this is my last option. I've progressed as much as I can given my current vision, and I really want to take my game to the next level," said the 29 year old at yesterday's press conference.

Dr. Kim and the team trainers have estimated his recovery at four to six weeks. Provided the surgery goes as planned.
