yeah that's what happens when you turn 40 and have to face young guys with the "I'll hit this for my starving family" attitude. I always thought that is what makes the difference in professional sports. when you're rich, tired, famous, and already have a WS ring, a perfect game and a MVP trophy under your belt, it's time to stop.
