Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"I suddenly realized that I was finished at age 30. It was a sad discovery, as I was not leaving on my own accord. I really felt like I did not fulfill my potential, and in the process I let a lot of people down—including myself. It took me a while to get over that feeling. It was difficult to say goodbye to baseball, since I had been playing the game constantly since age eight. But keeping things in perspective, I did take with me some lovely parting gifts. My .293 career batting average was one example. My '78 season cost me a .300 lifetime average. I had gone into that season with a .301 average, but my struggles that year caused my average to drop eight points. But I was glad I gave the game one last shot that season." - Ron Blomberg in Designated Hebrew: The Ron Blomberg Story (Sports Publishing, 05/19/2020, Page 142)
