A sad end of what could have been a really solid career. However, a lack of foot speed and a 2 way game ended the dream. At least he walks away with a huge pile of Pegula cash.

 

I wish him the best.

good skills. not a lot of athletic ability where have we seen that before?

You are quoting something written 6 years ago.

Hodgkin has an autoimmune disease that was causing him shortness of breath, heart arrhythmia, and blackouts.  I’m not sure if it’s possible to be a hard working professional athlete while going through that.

Oh, I didn’t know that about him.

Yeah seems noteworthy, but not enough to start a new thread.  Search button makes it easy anyway.

It maybe noteworthy news and easy to find the thread, but what invariably happens when a thread that was abandoned 6 years ago gets resurrected is that people click into it and begin quote replying to things that people wrote 6 years ago, as you see happening now in this thread.

I think it’s generally a better practice to find a more current location.

I disagree.  It logically belongs in this thread.  I don't care about the time involved.  Besides:

That's kind of cool.  😄
