But as my eyes got worse, I noticed my reaction time getting lousier and lousier until one day I got a frisbee to the face. I started wearing glasses after that and it made a huge difference.<BR/><BR/>An even bigger difference is when I went to contacts for playing. I don't wear them normally (I don't like how they feel) but I can see great when I play, I have no problems with peripheral vision, I don't worry about them flying off my face, they don't get fogged up, and they don't get streaked with sweat or rain.<BR/><BR/>My $0.02.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-1149641730360836312006-06-06T20:55:00.000-04:002006-06-06T20:55:00.000-04:00To illustrate my sincerity in wishing you well in ...To illustrate my sincerity in wishing you well in making this decision, allow me to point out that one of my most potent baseball memories was the day that Mike Schmidt retired. May 29th, 1989, I was in a rented beach-house on the Jersey shore, hanging with my family. I wept as he wept, and I will forever think of third base as Mike's corner. The man was a cat.Stuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291201381446319777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-1149627084381572242006-06-06T16:51:00.000-04:002006-06-06T16:51:00.000-04:00Thank you for the best wishes.See, the problem is ...Thank you for the best wishes.<BR/><BR/>See, the problem is that it's not "just softball". If I'm playing at less than what I think I should be capable of, I'm robbing my teammates. It's not just my ego at stake. They deserve better. I owe my teammates the best I can do.<BR/><BR/>Also, if I'm playing, but playing poorly, I'm keeping someone else off of the field who could be doing better than me. What right do I have to do that?<BR/><BR/>Finally, I'm a manager and have been for ten years. I don't want to be the guy (I've had them) who the manager has to make playing time for at the expense of the team welfare. That's just selfish.<BR/><BR/>The one thing I have always been able to pride myself on is my being a team player. I have never put myself before the team and I'm not going to start now.<BR/><BR/>Who knows? Maybe I go 3-for-4 tonight and make a couple of dazzling plays in the field. Then all of this is just so much hot air.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-1149626172723848352006-06-06T16:36:00.000-04:002006-06-06T16:36:00.000-04:00I'll say the prayer for you but you won't need it....I'll say the prayer for you but you won't need it.

It's not like your play is going to prevent Lebron from winning his first NBA championship or Jeter from winning another World Series.endangered coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15544936382793992882noreply@blogger.com
