Most of us agree, it's not about the money and to put the experience into a dollar value is doing nothing but showing how much you have available to spend.
A relivent past-weekend story. It's 4am on Sunday morning my son lumbers in and explains he's been pouring friends out of his car at their homes as the designated driver. Then out of the blue he says. "I'm sure glad I have baseball to focus on because I could never lead that party life".
I'm sure he's had a few of those "special nights, and woeful mornings" where he has done what all college kids experience. But, I felt he was very sincere with this comment. I went back to bed thinking what a cheap investment baseball has been.
