Christmas is upon us.  ‘Tis the season for families to worry about their travel plans over the coming days, and for many baseball players to contemplate their next “permanent” destination.  Pitcher and position players who have played the game long enough have earned the right to become free agents and elect where they create their next story.  Such freedom makes these players reflect on how it all began, how all their previous choices and opportunities took them to this point in time.

More than a dozen teams plan to sport a new player at critical defensive position

I wanted to create a place that shares my complete body of work with the people that have supported me all these years. The fans, my teammates, my family, the game of baseball, have all made this possible. They have provided the true inspiration for my writing. My father passed away 10 years ago on this day, a day when I recorded my 1000th hit and in those fragile moments, divine passion was created. I became a writer.  It granted me the opportunity to share the true human element that shapes a life in the game.

For sports stars like Junior Seau, the transition to retirement isn’t always easy. Former baseball big-leaguer Doug Glanville on why leaving the stadium for good shouldn’t be a prison sentence.

The suicide of the legendary San Diego Chargers linebacker Junior Seau is all too familiar. I didn’t know Seau, but I knew versions of his story in the lives of athletes who have been trying to find their way once playing the game became no longer an option.

Jackie Robinson had to be a saint—Jimmy Rollins can just play ball Curt Flood had it tough.

After being traded away from the St. Louis Cardinals—a team he did not want to leave—in late 1969, the outfielder challenged Major League Baseball's reserve clause, a relic of baseball's earliest years that allowed teams to hold on to players in virtual perpetuity. Flood's case made it all the way to the Supreme Court. But he lost, and the fight took its toll.
