More power to her and anyone else who’s satisfied with what they’ve achieved and consider it “enough” to walk away from. It’s her life.

Ms. Barty can probably make ends meet on $24 million and I hope she’s got financial advisors with her best interest at heart (one word, Ash: annuities).

How much of that goes to agents, trainers, taxes, travel and a few things I don’t know about?

It’s been too long since we’ve seen Spike!

..and she had a tree named after her!

I’m sure sponsorship helps to soften the blow.

At least someone is trying to keep the spirit of the game.

How many athletes can"do a Marciano" and actually STAY retired?They miss SOMETHING about the life.

And get that dog a nutritionist!!

Let’s see how well she does at golf before we weep for her “lost opportunities.”

Irrelevent baseball story

It was 1996.The last year the great slugger Andre’ Dawson played,with the Miami Marlins.By then,he’d had multiple operations and his knees were killing him.

At Shea Stadium,he hit a triple against the New York Mets.And I’m thinking only the Mets could give up a triple to a guy with no knees.

You have got to ask yourself, do I really need more money?

I’d never considered that Barb (is that her name? I forget) must have a pile o’ dough herself, even if she wasn’t a champ.

Who??

I don’t trust financial advisors. OI got screwed by a couple who took more of my inheritance than I ever got. As far as I’m concerned, they are crooks.

He may have a point.
