C.J. Wilson pitched 11 seasons in the big leagues. He went to a couple World Series and All-Star games, and made more than $88 million in his career.
But the best starter on the Texas Rangers’ best team (2011) isn’t overjoyed with his career. Wilson, 36, walked away from the game after last season and is now pursuing his dreams of being a professional race car driver.
“No, I’m not happy with how my [baseball] career turned out,” Wilson said. “That gives me a little drive to get the most out of my racing life. I really regret not being able to win the World Series in Texas and wish I could’ve got a couple more years out of my arm.
