A few days ago breaking news announced that the Dodgers had signed left-hander Casey Crosby to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training. It might not be seen as breaking news for the Dodger faithful who have suffered through a long World Series Championship drought but I expect it is to the 31-year-old Crosby who was born one month before the Dodgers clinched the 1988 World Series on October 20, 1988. His is a classic story, one of many among young men who have chosen to follow the nearly impossible road to MLB that is littered with a variety of potholes waiting to derail careers.
