My career in Pro bowl only lasted two years. In fact, I remember going to spring training after my second year. And on the last day of spring training, I got released. I got cut. And the interesting thing about that guy you talked about, you guys have all had childhood dreams, right? I was one day away from breaking camp to go play for the Beloit Snappers in Beloit, Wisconsin, which was 50 miles from my hometown. And I was three promotions away from pitching for the Milwaukee Brewers 30 miles from where I grew up. You talk about a childhood dream, right? And it was over. And when I look back and I reflect on that day I got released. I learned a lesson that day and I unfortunately didn't learn it right away. But what I know now is, guys, when you want to play bigger, you have got to have the confidence, the competence and one hell of a course of action.
