PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- He's a man on a journey. But Chris Archer came to understand a long time ago that it's not just his journey.
It's about the lives he can touch off the field. It's about the careers he can affect among the people around him. And it's about the lessons he has learned from those who came before him.
Life teaches those lessons. Baseball creates an ecosystem in which man can touch those lives and careers. And every once in a while, you come across a player who is determined to take those opportunities and make every day a little different, a little more meaningful, than the day that came before.
