THE FINAL "HOME" STRETCH

And so it begins ...

... After working in the business of Minor League Baseball for five seasons I am "retiring" from the business from a full-time stand point. Today I began what will be my final homestand and it will be a crazy way to finish as the homestand is an eight-gamer that will certainly tax my body! (But hey, what a way to go!)

It's been kind of reflective during the day as I remember chasing dogs in the outfield, pulling (drunk) people of the tarp during a rain delay, amazing views from the roof and many sleepless nights! So I figure over the next few days I'll share the stories that one day will make those listening (or reading) to wonder "why in the world would I choose such a profession?"

I do take some pride in the fact that the average work-span of a Minor League employee is just 3 years (YES, just 3!!) and I made it through five! Of course that won't get me anything special but at least I beat the average and took years off my life in the process.

Play Ball!
