A Ballplayer quote

Saw this quote on my brother's Facebook. Really interesting and very true. It really sums up our selfish American culture today. (Myself included in that categorization.)

"The difference between the old ballplayer and the new ballplayer is the jersey. The old ballplayer cared about the name on the tfront. The new ballplayer cares about the name on the back." - Steve Garvey

Definitely puts things into perspective.

Never really thought of it that way, but it is so true! Everyone is out for themselves instead of watching out for others. I truly believe this has a lot to do with issue that we face in todays society.

So true...Was just asking the other day, "Who am I trying to make famous with my life? Whose name do I want to be remembered when all is said and done?" I truly hope and pray it's not mine...

Wow, that sentence is short yet so profound, and sadly does sum up American culture as a whole today. Thanks so much for sharing it.
God bless,

Amen. It's horrible that money and fame are confused for passion in days like today.

I liked this post so much, I showed my husband to mull over.
He said that was interesting, especially...and then he went to google typed in "New York Yankee Jersey" and showed me the proof. (We are not from New York by the way) The backs of the New York Yankees Jerseys, apparently they are the only ones that don't have names on the back any more...how interesting is that? Maybe some manager saw that quote somewhere ;) Go New York
