Rumors abound that the Hustlers had to include a No-Trade Clause in order to intice the veteran corner infielder to return to Las Vegas. Wamukota wouldn't comment on the NTC directly, but was willing to talk about his past with the Hustlers. "We did some great things here...I did some great things here," explained Wamukota. "I was a high pick (7th overall in 2045) by the Hustlers. I made it to the majors in about a year. I led the league in triples in 2049, then led the league in hits and runs the next year. Most importantly, we won three rings in a row together. There's not too many players that can say that. 2055 was my tenth season in the BBA with the Hustlers. I was named to the big league roster and then traded to Chicago just seven days into the season. It hurt, yeah."
He had non-descript numbers for the Black Sox in 2055, then split the 2056 season between Rocky Mountain and Albuquerque (AAA). "Back in the minors, that was a tough pill to swallow," said Wamukota. "I fought back though, and got another Monty ring." Last season there just wasn't any interest, and Wamukota sat out the season. "If I was going to play, it was going to be on my terms," said Wamukota. "No one was interested in my terms."
So why not just retire? "I'm too young for all that," said Wamukota. "I can still help a club. Wouldn't it be a cool story if the Hustlers won another Monty? That's why I'm here. Full circle."
