A baseball players life

[lg325]

Spencer Kieboom built his life around baseball. Then he quietly walked away. An interesting article on Kieboom . It gives a good insight on what its like for a pro baseball player. I had wondered what happened to him..

Good article. Unless you have been spotted early and recruited heavily, the chances of making it to the Majors, or even a good D1 school are remote. Out of my home city of 1 million people, only Alex Verdugo made it (recent history) and he was already being scouted at age 15.

Making millions of dollars a year for playing a kids game.

You just know there has to be a downside somewhere in there.

The amazing thing is the number of players from "the Islands" who are drafted and make it.
