Sentimentality is one hell of a drug, isn’t it? My own baseball career ended after a tryout for a Division II school — I made the team, but I wasn’t a fan of the coach (a buddy played for him the previous season) and I was realistic about my pro chances (zero), so I considered that ending on a high note.
