<!--quoteo(post=39555:date=May 22 2009, 09:05 PM:name=Clapp)-->QUOTE (Clapp @ May 22 2009, 09:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->Shaq's been shooting probably 500 free throws a day for 15 years, and still can't do it. I highly doubt Fox isn't <i>trying</i> to get better there.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I understand exactly what you guys are saying. Believe me. In fact, that was my own personal ceiling in baseball; I played 3rd and could always hit a ton. But as time went on, the position became almost a totally reflex position...they don't call it the hot corner for nothin'.
I went from a good fielder to a bad one, the higher up i went, until I simply wasn't good enough anymore.

However, Fox is a hell of a lot more athletic that me.
And for every Shaq example, there are 2 Tony Gwynn/Yogi Berra counter-examples of guys who <i>drastically</i> improved their fielding in their 20's, simply by dedicating themselves to it.
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
