I was a pitcher, shortstop and outfielder, and the Yankees tried to sign me out of high school as a first-round draft pick in 1981. I turned them down to go to college.
It is only a step from boredom to disillusionment, which leads naturally to self-pity, which in turn ends in chaos.
It's taken me a long time to get back into the industry. People were not really open to me working, or being a part of the industry.
