I'm not retiring, but my cousin is, since he's nearly 40. He rose from life as a professor's son to head off to college financed by the kindness of someone named George Steinbrenner. I've heard there was a bit of family drama when his grandmother, my acid-tongued aunt, wanted to invite Mr. Steinbrenner to Thanksgiving dinner as a thank-you, but we dodged that bullet and Brad actually had a baseball career of sorts.
Since he has the family gift of gab and is smarter than most of us (and we are all clever in my family), I hope to see him as a successful manager of a baseball club one day despite the obstacles so carefully skirted by his teammates in Houston in this farewell video.

Maybe he could make a living as a sportscaster in the meantime. Or teach surfing.
Good luck, cuz!
