It was the baseball fantasy of a lifetime - to be able to sit on the bench with all those professional athletes. I got to take my son along because I wasn't sure I would be able to play with them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The baseball held was my fantasy of what life offered.
The contracts are structured different than athletes in America, but for me, it was good to move on and go back to playing in the premiere league, which is the best league. It was disappointing, as far as the team goes, but for me, there wasn't much I could do.
I stayed attached to baseball through the kids and through minor league baseball, and I'm very satisfied with the schedule it allows me to have, which means I'm home until my kids go off to college. I value that time.
I wanted to be a professional baseball player.
The one thing I didn't understand was the Minor Leagues, how that part of the business works. I'd see Todd Hollandsworth out there one game, and the next game he wouldn't be there, and I didn't understand.
Always wanted to be a Major League player. Loved baseball. Followed it. Loved to play. Plus, I could always hit.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a baseball player.
Playing baseball was my dream, and no amount of money could sway my opinion.
Every guy should have a fantasy sports team.
Finally, for all of us but a lucky few, the dream of playing big-time baseball is relinquished so we can get on with grown-up things.
