It makes me wonder

I love sports!!!! Just about all of them too.
I don't care much for soccer or hockey though. I love the Big 3. Baseball,Basketball, and Football.

To me the ultimate dream would be to play a professional sport and to play it with ONE team.


Some of my favorite players in Baseball have done this very thing.
Cal Ripken Jr.
Yes he probably wasn't the best shortstop of all time but he had an illustrious career with ONE team, the Baltimore Orioles. Oh yea, he also played more games consecutively. I don't remember how many it was, but I do know that the person behind them has about 10 more years of non-stop baseball to catch him.




Next is probably one of my all time favorite players in baseball

Tony Gwynn. LIFETIME, yes I said lifetime, career 300+ batting average. I'm not just talking about a batting average of 301 or 302, it's more like 315 or 320. To have that kind of batting average after your career is done is unimaginable.






Now for my Beef with "professional" athletes. It makes me wonder why athletes say "It's not about the money", when people like Alex Rodriguez, sign with one of the worst teams in baseball for a record breaking contract ( this was when he was a Texas Ranger ) and others like Brett Farve.
He WAS the Green Bay Packers.He basically made that franchise what it is in the 20th century. I would have respected him much more if he had just stayed retired, but instead he insist on coming back to a team that already had a new quarterback in place, therefore causing "a disturbance in the force",so to speak. Don't get me wrong,as a quarterback, I admire his career.I just wish it would have been one career and not 2
