Its Official

Its official.

I have officially decided to pay back a debt I owe.

Let me explain.

I was a typical boy growing up who loved sports. Every sport imaginable. I also at the ages of 10-14 thought I was going to play in the major leagues.

Wait, let me correct myself.

I was CONVINCED I was going to play in the major leagues. I mean in my mind I was one of the better players in the Bremen Little League. I was one of 12 players on the All-Star team. You see, I had it all figured out. Ivan Dejesus and Larry Bowa (shortstops for the Cubs when I was 10-14) would be about ready to retire and it would work out nicely.

So sure was I .... that I even bet $5 to some friends down at the little league park at sunnyside.

So I am ready to pay up.

Its official, I resign myself that I am not going to fulfill this dream.

:) and yes I just came to this conclusion....cuz I am turning 40 this year. Who would play a 40 year old rookie with a 72 mph fastball, limited range, and would probably not get the bat on the ball for even a foul ball(although I would love to try) ?????

so if you are one of the few (probably somewhere between 5 and 100 kids that bet me...) well, I concede and I will pay.
