Baseball used to be a game where the players were men who were honored and humbled to be playing a game while being adored by millions. Now it’s a game played by spoiled kids where everything is fed to them and taken care of, where money grows on trees and the only limitations are the foul lines during the game. Even Cal Ripken Jr.—arguably the most respectable man ever in baseball—demanded his own locker room at his home ball park and stayed in his own hotel room—sometimes even a different hotel—while on the road. What we have now is not an honorable game played by honorable men. It’s an often corrupt game played by spoiled boys…I am starting to have a greater appreciation for the Boy Scouts program. I’ve now had the opportunity to experience three Eagle Scout projects and they are unbelievably well done and attractive. If you have an opportunity, support a local Eagle Scout project…The most respectably occupations in my mind are these: teachers, social workers, and church staff. These are most often paid well below their worth. Those who take these occupations are doing something with their life outside of themselves.
