I've probably met 10-15 people who claimed they played professional baseball but never did. Who knows why people do what they do? In my faith, one of our noted theologians not only lied about playing for the St. Louis Cardinals but also told some whoppers when it came to World War 2 service. It's probably hard for someone who eats, drinks and sleeps baseball to say "Yep, I played ball but wasn't good enough."
