PITTSBURGH -- At one point last summer, Tyler Gaffney thought about coming back to baseball. His job was wearing on him, and he'd been looking for a reason to finally get off that career path. Two days later, Gaffney said, he got another offer.
It was from the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"I was like, I've got to do this," Gaffney said. "This is probably my last shot."
About a week after signing, Gaffney was placed on injured reserve and waived. That was the final sign he needed. He was ready to be a baseball player again.
"I knew that football was not going to be the deal anymore," he said.
