Times have changed
2018 CY YOUNG winner, left hander pitcher Blake Snell of Tampa had this quote recently about a shorten 82 game schedule in Major League baseball
"For me to take a pay cut is not happening because the risk is through the roof," he said Wednesday . "I've got to get my money. I'm not playing unless I get mine, OK? And that's just the way it is for me."
In contrast, in 1942 when his country was in trouble, Hall of Fame pitcher Warren Spahn enlisted in the army and fought in the Battle of Hurtgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge. Afterward his quote was ?Our feet were frozen when we went to sleep and they were frozen when we woke up. We didn?t have a bath or change of clothes for weeks.?
PS...I wonder what the odds of Blake surviving the Covid19 era compared to Warren's in 1942
