Springer near the break

Especially given that the Stros dicked around with his service time as a rookie

Professional athletes don’t have choices about where they play for several years.

Some believe that the money makes up for it but there are many kinds of people in this world. We are all wired slightly different.

I am sad that George left- and my wife is even more so- but after over 40 years I have learned that players move on.

For every Bagwell and Biggio there are 10 Springers that will move on for a variety of reasons.

And they have earned that right by playing 6+ years someplace they did not choose at a salary usually significantly less than if they weren’t indentured.

It’s about the name on the front of the jersey.
