Top ballplayers are intensifying off-season workouts
year-round diets and private training
under-achievers and career-year wonders
humble hero or hurt the parade of generations increases
hall of fame banners and Cooperstown speeches

Josh Hamilton is among ballplayers who crashed from the top
ESPN betrayed him and his wife for an hour
the interview fawned questions at the disease
the couple lovingly gratefully proclaimed
guardians God and the game keep him safe.
