When he got signed to the Braves in 81 my band played his going away party. We got blasted all night together.

Had a very decent career. Cy Young award, pitched in an All Star game, and won a WS ring.

"Very decent"!?! Cy Young-winning relievers come along once a decade at most.
Catcher is my #1 position. I'm turning green with envy right now.

(I've played pick-up hockey with Ron Ellis--beat that!)

Chula I see your college marching band and raise you one World Class DCI Drum Corps:


If you don't call that being an athlete, what is?

Both are entertaining, and sometimes exciting.

Strange things to compare. Musicians generally dont have to deal with the physical constraints that an athlete does. A athletes career is a shorter and more demanding one.

Anyone remembers Deion Sanders? i had his sneakers.

.................

anyway, i chose musicians cause i prefer music over sports but i respect how much athletes train to reach a professional LvL. You don't need to be in shape to be a musician but to be even be a bench warmer in a professional sport you have to be in top shape. the path of an athlete is more disciplined and arduous than a musicians.

Maybe with your garden variety garage band musician, but not so much with a classically trained musician.
