This was at the point of his life where he was out of baseball do to his tourettes syndrome. He played softball during these off years and you could find him flipping burgers sometimes at the softball fields. At this point he was living with his parents and probably had no plan of getting back in the game. I remember his mom was happy to have two kids there to get his autograph. <BR/><BR/>He later went on to play in two World Series and won one. He hit a home run in each series and was named most valuable player in at least one of the games. He is a career .290 hitter and hit .385 in his World Series appearances. He is truly an inspirational story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
