Default Slightly O/T but very important

I don't know how many of you know (or care) whom Jarren Duran is but he is a major league baseball player who was suffering from some very serious mental health issues recently. We came close to having another Willard Hershberger suicide during a baseball season.

If you don't know whom Hershberger is, his name is pre-war related.

Having done hundreds of hours on a crisis line I can assure you there is nothing like dealing with a caller with a suicide in progress and I'm personally grateful Mr. Duran got through his crisis situation. Playing major league baseball is not all fun and games

I do not have Netflix but here is a free Sporting News article link
