i wonder if staying on after in Indy ball, sets one back in their eventual job career?
Pop up walked away after college like he never played baseball and is well settled working at a major company (not McDonalds), lol.
He evidently figured MLB passed him up 5 years in a row, he wasn't good enough to play professionally. But he still gets tagged as an MVP in the company, funny they use the same terms.
As much as we enjoyed watching him play sports, his mother and I are happy he and his wife are close by.
I haven't agreed with you in the past, but your first sentence is right on. Yes, I believe that in most career opportunities, these days, the older you get the less of a chance you get against the competition (as is the case in affiliated ball).
Of course lots has to do with ones life's experiences, employment history and whether they have a degree, etc.
I wish that people would really understand the business of baseball, and most importantly that no matter what Indy League you play in, this is about filling seats, selling food and making money for the owner (s), not helping any player get to the next level.
