Cardinal nepotism but pity me

cardinal nepotism and crying and reaching for pity

Did you read Bernie Miklasz's column about Dave Duncans son and his tenure with the cardinals?  He was lamenting how tough it was for him.....he did get a million dollar signing bonus....he wasn't worth a million for sure....but his dad was the pitching coach.....it was all I could do to finish it....he said he is still scarred by the experience....I am sure that million dollars was a pretty good bandaid.....

Then the Cardinals drafted 6 or 7 kids who fathers work for the cardinals including Matheny's son.......talk about nepotism...but then I guess we will be reading in a few years how they were scarred by the experience.....as well.....the Cardinals can do whatever they want...but to read Bernies column....Duncans kid was like a  war orphan...he was so emotionally traumatized by it.....give me a break.......be thankful that he had that opportunity......lots of others didn't...and probably could have been drafted too......but they didn't have a parental connection.....I honestly thought those kind of things stopped in little league....obviously not.....

Well...another day of wonderment is upon us.....
