I'm surprised that his recent retirement wasn't discussed here.

Pretty good article on ESPN about him.

I liked him the few years he played for the Nats. Seemed like a respectable, no BS, down-to-earth kind of player (as much as someone who has made $70M can be down-to-earth I guess).

"I never took it for granted," he says. "One, I get to play a game. Two, I get paid an absurd amount of money to play a game. Three, I can have my son with me while I'm doing it. I was pinching myself all the time, wondering, 'What did I do to deserve this?' And I always knew it could get shut down at any point. You could have a manager who just flat doesn't like it. You can have players complain -- Hey, we're tired of having a kid around. There's a chance we could have other guys see Drake and think, 'I'll bring my kid too.' Obviously we can't turn this into a day care. I get it."

What do you guys think?

Eh. If you want to hang out with your kid all day do it. But also, respect the fact that your co-workers might not want to hang out with your kid as much as you do.
