"Before this happened, baseball was my life, and it was easy to work hard and be motivated and think, ‘Baseball is the most important thing in the world.’ After that, it just didn’t seem that important. I didn’t have the same emotions toward winning and losing. At this level, unless you’re an extreme athlete who is so much more talented than anybody else — which I’m not — you’re not going to get away with a drop-off like that."
Kevin Correia after the death of his 21 year old brother, Trevor, last year. It’s from a beautiful piece by Jerry Crasnick that reminds us that baseball players do not begin and end within the foul lines.
