My girlfriend has a good friend who's husband is a retired minor league baseball player. The guy is a little older than me, he just never got called to the majors so now he's trying to pursue a second career in heating and cooling (or something). Basically, if you ever wanted to know what happened to Jack from John Cougar Mellancamp's "Jack and Diane," you just need to look at him.
When I went to their wedding, it was filled with all his triple-A baseball buddies. I expected the usher to ask me, "Are you with the has-beens or the never-weres."
