The P.E. teacher with a World Series ring

Yeah. I got turned off by too many useless details.

Details, spefics are good if they add something to the story. Not if they show what a sharp guy you are by noticing the sun is shining.

 

It amazes how many people will comment on threads and not read the piece up for discussion.

 

This is a story that can barely breathe.

 

A little off topic, but growing up in Alberta, it wasn't uncommon to see CFL players as teachers. My high school phy ed and math teacher played safety on a Grey Cup winner. we knew that training camp was near when he started running with all his classes.

I presume that before big money came to athletes, that they made they lived, established their homes and started careers in the cities where they played.
