Baseball is a physical sport with risk. A large percentage of x MiLB players I know left the dream injured. Actually, I can only think of one that just hung them up on his own accord. That is ONE of many reasons it is so difficult to make it to the show. When the choice is taken out of your hands, I am sure it is hard. The reality is, for most, that the road was coming to an end soon whether injured or not.
I mean no disrespect to those going through TJ with their kids. I am sure it is a significant event that I hope not to experience. Five years down the road, 99.99% of players that have TJ will have zero impact to where they are in life and what they can do. That is what I mean when I say it is not a life changing event.
Mitigate and accept the risk.
