If you’re hiking, or on a boat, or trekking anywhere where you are largely on your own, having a first aid kit around gives you infinite piece of mind. Slip and jam your shoulder? Ibuprofen! Accidentally rip off a finger nail? Neosporin and a band-aid! Case of the bubble gut? PEPTO TO THE RESCUE!
Not only does it help you out in most every scenario imaginable, it also gives you the confidence to stay out that extra night on the trail, or to take that boat a few miles further from shore than you otherwise would.
A surefire, verstaile utility player in baseball can be a a front office’s first aid kit, especially given the constraints of the 25-man roster.
