Day Off

“I really need this day off,” says Jon from Highbridge.

“Lou Gehrig never needed a day off,” shoots Javier from Walton Avenue. “Neither did Cal Ripken or Miguel Tejada until he broke his wrist last year.”

“Well,” Jon says. “I’m not any of those guys.”

Javier looks down at his own cannonball gut.

“Neither of us are one of those guys,” Javier admits. “I think a day off sounds just fine.”

“Yeah.”

It is amazing what a day off can do for people who just sit in front of a computer. I don’t know how baseball players go out there and play every day. Just the mental strain of having to perform would do in most of us.
