Randy Newsom Retires
Unfortunately my good buddy and business partner Randy Newsom retired from professional baseball a few days ago. Now I say unfortunately because he put in a lot of good years playing and was unable to make it to the Majors despite pitching great his entire career. In actuality, I am very happy for him. I know the struggle of trying to reach the majors, which often seems like your climbing a neverending wall of frustration. Especially when you play well enough that you feel you should have been given a chance.
It is not something you want to admit at any point in your career, but you know the politics of baseball are against you. It is unfortunate, but it’s the truth. Guys that you outperform all your career are granted an easy path ahead of you. I could see this at many points through my career, but didn’t want to believe it.
So while Randy made the tough decision to leave this crazy life, I would say it’s a good decision. You are not young forever, and you give up a huge part of your life working towards this dream that is statistically improbable. Good luck to Randy and now maybe we can take this business to the next level.
On another note, we have now added Aaron Bates (Boston Red Sox) to our website www.realsportsinteractive.com. He is a big time prospect and absolutely has the potential to make the Major Leagues. Aaron was a 3rd round draft pick in 2006 and has quickly reached the AAA level. He is a great player and a great guy. Please sponsor Aaron for only $14 and help him reach the Majors.
