The view from the top

 

Yeah, I know it's only April 7. But during these last 10 games, my guys have looked good. Loving the stellar defense and the speed on the basepads. 

But I still miss Anthony Rizzo. His wife is in her last trimester as they await the birth of their first baby. Is he happy? Is he excited? Is he OK? Retirement is an adjustment for anyone, but most of us pick up our careers as young adults. He's been playing baseball since he was a child. It's not a profession, it's a way of life. I hope he's OK. He deserves only good things.

  1. I didn't think of his career spanning his whole life. But of course it must have.

    I hope you can get to that story. I have gifted it to you. It's about a women's baseball fantasy camp and why women don't play baseball. It's fascinating.
