Thanks John,
Of course you have to be careful about what's said.I should have used better sense than to ask you a question like that.It just really bothered me to see how hard a couple of these busted up players have it,with the Union seemingly not giving them the time of day.
Please don't respond to this.

Don't feel too bad, most of the time they are in that situation due to poor money management. There are exceptions of course.

You make a good point John.With the money that many of these guys are pulling down with the right planning they should be set,unfortunately there are probably a lot of guy's who blow through it with no thoughts of looking that far into the future.
I have the most sympathy for the older players who never made the big dollars and have to deal with the disabling injuries or illness's.
There was a great story about an interview with Joe Dimaggio many years ago,he was asked about what he would be worth given his accomplishments in the era of free agency.He said "Mr.Steinbrenner you and I are about to become partners".
