Base ball is a good profession to
adopt il you wish to get bit OF
capital quickly and if you are good
enough to make a major league. My
personal feeling is that if you are
not major Lacquer. and have but
little chances to become one, get out
OF professional base ball. Minor
league base bail doesn't pay-save in
rare instances If you treat your
self we'll base ball is not the terrible
physical grind which some players
make it out. The worst thing
against base ball as a profession. so
lar as | can see, is that you are
through just about the time a man
in another profession would start to
be good. Furthermore. most base
ball players are not qualified to be
anything else when they finish their
playing careers.
