Wow, how sad, I couldn't make it as an athlete and became a mediocre developer. I'd have traded with him....

Interesting.
Lets see. Practice? No. Drink beer? Yes.
My kind of guy.
Seriously? COBOL vs pro ball? Programming is a good gig and all but who would seriously debate that?

I posted it for all those who rail on players for not living up to the expectations the fan would have fufilled if they were only that . . .

Well those principles of hard work, getting up in the morning and doing your job, apply to all occupations.
I think the thing about top level professional sports is the potential reward is so great those of us without the tools wonder why someone would not be motivated.

To the Lilliputians out there because someone is tall does not equate to a burn to yearn to play.
I raised this upon the signing of one Zeke Marshall 4 years ago.
Read a nice piece on him but it was clear that buckets was not a passion but a past time.
Loved tinkering around with computers ( Does two 7' IT guys make a class of individual?) and really liked staying at home with Mom.
Trade Mom for the Budweiser and you have two peas in a pod.
