Message: [QUOTE="Dick_in_MI, post: 5610044, member: 225"] Yep. It is the metaphorical equivalent of following an A level minor league baseball team. Guys are around for a year or so. They either get called up, they get traded to another organization, or they end up out of baseball and working at a Home Depot in Biloxi, Mississippi. At best, you hope for a good season. Even then, you don't develop the emotional connection like you do with 4-year players. You remember the stars from a good season, and you remember that they won a lot of games. The rest of the names fade from memory quickly. Before you say, "you're just an old man shaking his fist at clouds", you are wrong. I stand with my hands on my hips and throw a menacing glare at the cloud until it gets the hint and floats away. That's what we pros do. [/QUOTE]
