I prefer minor leagues for this exact reason – passion in what they do.

The next spring Peter Gammons had a column in which he quoted Gerut extensively, talking about how he planned to avoid the sophomore slump. It didn’t happen the way he planned, but I’ve always remembered how thoughtful Gerut seemed. I wish him all the best in whatever he does next.

Once the love has gone or diminished than it must be gruelling to compete (money aside of course). All the best to him.
