I got chicken pox when I was nearly 23, just days before the start of the season in independent ball back in 1994. I was stuck sequestered in a hotel room for a week and lost a ton of weight. Really hard to gain it back when you are making very little money and suffering through the heat in Texas. Missed the first 4 games, and when I finally got back on the field, I could barely take grounders for more than 5 minutes without passing out. At least this kid will have a little more time to recuperate. I was just fighting to keep playing ball for a bit longer. But maybe I should blame chicken pox as to why I was never picked up by an organization. Yeah, that’s it …
