I guess we will have to agree not to agree. I know a lot of scouts and coaches that wouldn't trade it for anything.


       
Agreed.  Getting some free tix for a game tonight from one of my former players who is a BP pitcher among other duties after a short minor league career.  Loves the game, loves what he's doing.  In fairness though he was drafted out of college and has his degree so he always has that to fall back on too.  But a guy I went to high school with went in the draft right out of high school and played minor league ball for 10 years explicitly hanging on to make contacts and get into coaching.  Last I knew he was still involved.  At one point he was a AAA manager.  Nothing wrong with being a lifer and loving what you do.
