If you were a 20-something AAAA player destined to ride buses into your mid-30’s and knew you were close, but your history said “not close enough.” And your choices were dying in minor league obscurity or maybe taking this little shot or that little pill and suddenly seeing every childhood dream, every moment you and your friends pretended in the backyard - suddenly become your real life, what would you do?

 

My choice wouldn’t be ethical and wouldn’t be popular with the fans. But no way I want my one-step-away career ending with me on a hotel bed in Rochester wondering “what if”...

 

notin - this is a better post than most might think that it is. What you say is the absolute truth. It would be one hell of a decision for some but really a no brainer for others. Possible financial security for the rest of time or take the high road and do what many would suggest to be the right thing? Sadly the people choosing to do the right thing are the people most often taken advantage of today.

There is an ignore feature on here. To you, it's diarrhea because it's conflicts with your worldview. To others, it's manna from heaven.

Nah, I never use the ignore feature, the stupidity posted around here is quite amusing.

Ah, so that's why you enjoy all those clickbait articles you post and are a huge fan of nobody sports writers!

I don't believe SCM is a millenial. I'm pretty sure he's just a bald Gen Xer.

 

You are correct. I am bald, but have been shaving my own head for 20+ years!

Have you been shaving other heads for longer?

Yes like all those Dan Clark crap.

 

Ah Dan Clark. The “Men Without Hats” of the sports journalism world...

Nope, I work in law enforcement (since 2006). Therefore, the stress of my job would leave me bald regardless.
