excellent story, probably not the way that he wanted to end his career.

Hell of a quote:

I never thought the end would come like this -- with me holding the end of my life's passion in one hand and a foot long Italian sub on wheat in the other.

I think the hidden joke in this story is that SI actually went to a player and said "You're probably gonna get cut. Can you write down how that feels?"

That was a really great read. Thanks for posting it ericschand. A real look into the head of a veteran pro player who's time has come, and who probably realizes it, but still gives it one last shot.

Yeah, I thought that was a really good article.

I think we tend to forget that for all the hundreds of guys that make it into the big leagues in any particular season, thousands try and don't.
