Reply to "There needs to be more to life than your sport"

When my son was playing at a D1 univ., I reminded him constantly that use the scholly as a way to get a good education at a discounted price.  His dedication to baseball was high back then, but nothing in comparison as it is now in the MLB. I guess that is a reason why there are many players in MiLB in their late 20’s/ early 30’s still playing, waiting for that one chance to make it to the show. Their lives have centered around baseball and once it is over it may be difficult to adjust to a “regular” life. Their identity is baseball. I agree with Goosegg above, a high school player who gets drafted and goes through the minors system is not ready for life without baseball several years down the road.
