There’s power that comes with being a big leaguer. Every action you take is scrutinized, every word you say means something, and you’re a role model for younger players on their way up. Like the greatest American of all time once learned, with that power comes responsibility, and by the way RIP Spider-Man, how sad it is that you died at the end of a comic book movie and are never, ever being resurrected in any way.
Sure, that responsibility applies to simple things like buying the spread in the minors (and doesn’t seem to apply to not selling out Minor League Baseball in CBA negotiations, ha ha, funny story, I definitely didn’t ask anyone about that), but it also obviously applies on the field too.
