Summary

In this edition of Cinco de Luncho with Shaun Morash, the crew dives into one of the most entertaining thought experiments in New York sports: the most surprising athlete returns to local teams. From unforgettable breakups to shocking reunions, the list sparks debate about which comebacks truly stunned fans across the city. The conversation runs through names like Mark Messier, Bobby Bonilla, Javier Vázquez, and Geno Smith before expanding into modern hypotheticals. Could Saquon Barkley ever return to the Giants? Would Juan Soto going back to the Yankees be shocking? And which fan base would react the loudest if a former star suddenly came back? It’s a classic Cinco countdown packed with nostalgia, arguments, and plenty of New York sports drama.
