I received a phone call very early one morning. A former player was walking out on professional ball. He had a big contract and had several articles written about him and his potential. He had just been traded for a "star" of another team. There was so much pressure on him. In the conversation, he said that he couldn't play anymore. Baseball was no longer fun. He longed for the days in HS were all the guys were on one mission and that he felt part of a team. For him, baseball had never been that way again. He didn't care about the money and he felt like a piece of meat. So, true to his word, he walked out. Now, I can say that he is a happy man with a great family. He doesn't regret his move at all.
