My dad took me to SF Giant games when I was a kid. I remember how this one Japanese player came up to the giants from the farm team. I don't remember his name now, but I latched on to him as a fan right away. The thing is he couldn't make it as a major league player, he struck out constantly, he dropped balls and muffed plays. I remember one day, the coach called him in and off the field he went. We never saw him again. I read later that he was sent back down to AAA.

I was heart broken. Why was he not good enough to be in the Bigs, he could have improved, he could have been great, but the coach sent him back. Now I know how he feels.. some times you gotta give the ball to someone else and get the fuck off the field. Baseball cards were only meant for major league players..and their fans.
