"This American Life" did a wonderful segment on athletes that suddenly lose their prowess and fall from the limelight.
Steve Blass of the Buccos has become the poster child for such a man.
To hear Blass talk about losing his pitch but then finding it again long after his baseball career was over is good therapy for anyone who misses jogging out of the dugout on a hot and humid August night.
A good metaphor for life; as so many of us who become older we lose our ability to pitch. We just have to reinvent ourselves.
