Reply to "How often do girls get in the way?"

Family friend drafted out of juco.  Made way to AAA, had injury and struggled getting back.  Went Indy.  Got engaged.  All of this over several years.  Succeeded in Indy and was getting velo back.  Had some terrific outings.  Fiance got tired of the battle and told him the $1,500 a month would not support them.  She talked him into quitting 2 weeks ago Monday.  He went into GM office and quit.  Packed up and headed home.  His agent called him on his way home and said are you stupid.  Why did you not call me first?  Come to find out an MLB club was coming to put eyes on him the next night to call him back and all the way up.  When they called to confirm with GM that he was pitching he told them he quit.  They called the agent and said thanks but no thanks.  I'm seriously not sure their engagement or future marriage can withstand that blow.  He will always regret.
