Maybe spoiled as a fact or in the verbal was not the best description without concrete proof but you search through the history of MB and you will find a man who has made more money in one year than most extended families in a lifetime. It is not a money issue per say but one that has found ingratitude at every step. Forget the actions and outbursts. Have I missed periods of gratefulness, seeking to be responsible, wanting to make restitution? That is how I would qualify such a statement right or wrong. Forget spoiled but I think "acting as a spoiled child" could be a character trait....illness included. Offend you? Didn't mean to. I have had to deal with my suicidal people and I do not make light of the overflow of physical. I hope the best for the man. I really think with this man baseball as a game should be considered quite trivial in comparison with his long term well being. Thanks for your comments. By the way, I never suggested he was faking. I believe to him it is all very real. Sadly, too real. No longer America's pasttime!
