THE CASE OF THE CAREER GOING…GOING…GONE! AWRY

You are a professional baseball player. In fact, you are so highly respected by fans, peers and league officials that you have been selected to participate in the sport’s most honored event.

No, not the All-Star Game – no one cares about that thing. The Home Run Derby!

Your head is spinning. It seems like only yesterday you were just a tyke swinging a broomstick in the old sandlot, but now, here you are, with the chance to have your name forever linked with past Derby participants like Mickey Tettleton and Henry Rodriguez! And John Jaha!

But this elite opportunity is not all good news. You have already played over 80 grueling games, and your drug-free body is run-down and tired. But your team is still counting on you to be healthy and productive down the stretch. Who knows how a few dozen extra batting practice swings could alter the entire future of your franchise?!

All of these thoughts are racing through your head as the clubhouse attendant hands you a phone. It’s the Commissioner. He needs your decision.
