Probably until I got married. Okay. Yeah.
Yeah, I probably did. I bought a lot of dumb shit.
I mean, I'm a big time shoe collector, so I probably overpaid for some shoes. Like who knows what I paid for shoes. It was something stupid. Yeah. And then cars. I always went through cars and stuff like that. Yeah.
Yeah. So the big thing with baseball players and probably basketball, football, professional athletes, there's always agents like I have. I had an agent. I still have an agent agent and a financial advisor. Those are the two guys that athletes always get.
They don't listen to them because they, you know, they'll call their financial guy and be like, this is my money. No, send it to me. I need it. And they're like, you know, and I've always been, my, my guy is great. Like I still have him to today. Um, he always drives in a slow lane, which is good for me. You know what I mean?
But I, I could make more money if I moved over a lane, but I just stay in the slow lane and just kind of live my life.
For sure. Yeah. but we always have those two guys, agent and financial guys that always help us players out. And you just got to, hopefully you pick the right ones.
Oh my gosh.
I just remember a rookie just got called up to the big leagues and I had like five or six years in and it was his first time in the big leagues. And like the week, our first road trip, he went out and bought, I think he went to the Gucci Louis Vuitton store and just bought everything. And we're sitting there going, he hasn't even got paid yet.
and he gets like if you don't pitch good you're getting set right back down yeah this is like you're not on a multi-million contract that's guaranteed this guy was just rookie like just just got caught up on nothing even though it was like 200 000 a year but it's all prohibited like you don't make 200 000 right as soon as you get to the big leagues no you know it's what it's you gotta wait every week you're there yeah and we were just like what are you doing at rolex but he went out and bought everything and i'm sure he put it on a credit card
Yeah. Did he stay? I think he stayed about four or five years in the big leagues.
But I don't think he made a ton of money.
You know, the biggest problem is, and I hate saying this, the bigger problem is really not that a lot of times it's the girlfriends or the wives that come in and But what's worse. Yeah.
Way too many people with that, with the entourages they have. Yeah. Yeah. That's 100%. You see that all the time, all the time.
I would tell him 100% you got to be smarter with your money. Way smarter as far as not buying the dumb shit. You know what I mean? And going through all the houses and all this. But once you sign a big contract, you're just like, you want to do that one time. Like you want to get the big house. You want to get the cool cars and everything. Whatever. You know what I mean? But I don't know.
It's just that we don't really think about the future when you're there.
Oh, my gosh. I love that. I just heard that saying somewhere else.
Oh, 100%.
When I retired in year, I retired 2011, 2012, somewhere in there. Um, I started them. I started a club ball baseball team around town right away. And I feel like I did it at a too early of an age for them, but yes, I wanted them to play baseball. I wanted them to play all sports, which they did. Um, but if I could go back and change something, I wish I could have, I wasn't so hard on them.
Or some people say that's what made them better. But I was, I was, I was a very competitive, hard dad with them. Um, and to go back, I, I wanted kids right away when I was young because I wanted my kids to be able to come into the clubhouse and see what I did. So, so luckily, and I was blessed that my boys got to come in a clubhouse at like five and seven years old.
