Babe Ruth you got to be kidding!

The only thing I may have in common with the Babe is we drank too much.

Never gave this threads topic a thought.

Rock Clunn comes to mind as a bass angler with similar appreciation to keeping in touch with our surrounding environment  on the water. Any success Catching those green fish was a result staying focused on what is going on and listening to our intuition.

You're too humble. Everyone knows that WRB abbreviates Whadda Ruth, Babe!

These always make me laugh

Andy, I used career in a bass fishing context. Can this be done? Well, here's the meaning of career:

 

"an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person's life and with opportunities for progress."

 

And here's the secondary meaning of occupation:

 

"any activity on which time is spent by a person"

 

I invited the guys to play, to be goofy, and self-deprecate. They did. 

 

I get it - am I'm sure you get where I was coming from too.

They play a Childs game for a living.

My career required participating in real Life & Death deals almost on the daily.

No question these men & women work hard to perfect their rare God Given athletic ability,

but they are still playing a game, regardless of the press coverage

and the misguided pedestal they get placed on. 

Their efforts often offer us a welcome distraction from the reality of our life's,

however, there's usually very little there to emulate in my mind.

Being able to pass, punt & throw is not an indicator of good character. 

Isn't it funny how "Being a Good Man or Woman" just doesn't mean that much any more.

Unless one isn't.

His year in Atlanta really helped my “Beat the Streak” win percentage. Great career trajectory, and still put up great numbers despite constant injuries.
